Glad to have you onboard! Congrats on your great car. Here are a few sites that may give you some interesting reading.

If you plan on racing the car you'll get some flavor for that on the 914 World "Paddock: forum. That's for racing specific topics. You may already know these but here are a few resources for places to both shop and read.

The Official Porsche Online "PET" parts catalog. Many people still sell this and it's often pirated, but it's available to us all online for free. choose your 914 (or whichever car you are lookng for) and cruise through it. It's good for a couple of reasons. It lets you look at parts blow-ups and it gives you part #s if you have to order something. Since it's run by Porsche, most part numbers are either correct (updated) or they are close enough to find what you need.

Wow awesome links!

The chassis is straight and pretty solid, so that's set. I have inspected it and nothing needs immediate attention except a new trailing arm.

I didn't buy it, traded it for a Miata.
