Hey guys, it's been a long while since I've been on the board, school is pretty hectic. We recently moved to Siesta Key and the parents said that they would get the car up and running for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . Just have some questions for anyone who is willing to give me info. Locals HELP!!!

First off the car has sat for the last 3 1/2 years and rarely started up (Not my choice, my mom can be a bitch). The only place that I know of down there would be the Porsche dealer to check it out and they'll charge an arm and a leg. I'm sure if I look up a classic European car mechanic that would be good but I want a quality job that is reputable. Also, if any of you car geeks want to let me know of the possible problems to look for for a car that has been sitting that would be greatly appreciated so we don't get ripped off for shit that we don't need.

My girlfriend's dad has a 914 over in the Palm Beach area and said to check out AACA (Antique Auto Club of America?) and find a mechanic through there. Yeh's or Neh's

Second, during the trip down on the car carrier my front spoiler got cracked and my parents are willing to get me a new one (Thank God, I was F***'n pissed). So anywhere I can find a Special Edition spoiler for a reasonable price that would be good. I think Pelican has it for $70 for something around there.

Another question that I was pondering was the windshield. I know that it is a true glass windshield (or from what I've been told). It has not been replaced since the car left Germany. It's pretty foggy and rock chips are annoying. So the question is what would be the cost of getting it replaced with safer windshield that newer cars have (another reason my mom didn't like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) )

Thanks guys for the help and hopefully I can be on here a little bit more.

PEACE!!
