Dan.
Congratulations! I knew Craig would get you in a nice 914. I would keep that one stock also. Lots of rusty ones to cut up to modify. Damn, I like that interior.
Yea, that battery location is ??. Lead acid battery at the far end of a car is not going to help handling and besides it just looks wrong.

Where's my bat?

Down, down! Back, back!

What's up Troy?

Gotta catch up with you guys. This last year has been more than busy for Michelle and I. I haven't kept in touch like I should have. But I'm finally done with school and looks like the house thing is settling down. Life is calming back down a little finally.

My first was a white and tan '76 2.0 with steel wheels and chrome rings. I put 205s on it and it handled great!

Yup!

Craig basically did a PPI for me, snagged the 914 and goodies. Then picked up Michelle and I from the train station. I can't thank him enough for all the help.

I owe Craig a big favor for sure.

This 914 is really nice and I want to keep it that way. I also want to drive the tires off of it, but keep it really nice and clean.
