[stefs914]

Hey guys my name is Stefan i just picked up my very first 914 i've always wanted one but the closest thing i got to it was a 944.
The story of how i came to own this car is almost as cool as the car itself.

I have a friend who does appliance repair and made a service call to a home and noticed the 914 sitting in the driveway looking sad. He then asked what the story behind the car was, they began to tell him all the memories behind the car and the good times they had in it til about 10 years ago when his wife became pregnant and the car got put on the back burner and stayed there. They went on to say that its killing them watching it just sit there, (this is when it gets great!) they told my friend that they wanted to GIVE the car away to someone who would take care of it and restore it. So my friend being the great guy he is called me right after he left their home.

I went and put it on the trailer the next day and began to pull this 914 from the grave. both rear brakes were completely locked so we had to take the calipers off and a whole number of things went down hill but, eventually by 12:30AM we got the car on the trailer and took it home. needless to say I am so excited to start this journey (i know it'll be long) and see how this car turns out. I loved the 944 forum when i was on it so i'm excited to be apart of this team.
