Hello all,
This is my first of many posts to come. I am very excited about the purchase of my first 914. I have wanted one of these babies for 20 years since I was about 12 years old. I love the car and knew that one day I would buy a 1972 model year. (By birthday is 9/14/1972 - so it was only natural that I buy a 72 914). On to my question. Unfortunately, I am not a very handy guy in the shop. I am however very unthusiastic about learning as much as I can regarding the repair and restoration of my new ride. What resources would you suggest for a shop "newbie" that wants to learn as much as possible about car repair and restoration? I truly am as green as they come in regards to working on cars - but I am very dedicated to changing that. Thanks, Stags |
