In trade got a 1975 Porsche 914 1.8.
-Shitty paintjob. looks great in pictures, but looks just awful in person.
-engine ran like shit and felt like low compression.
-tranny, 5th pops out of gear.
-leaks a little oil
-body needs some work was in an accident in the 80s. Was repaired but not good enough IMO.
