Ok, As a preface, I have part of the 914world site for about a year and a half, but had owned my porsche for 5 years or so before I found this amazing resource. I figured that It was about time I started to document my work like everyone else on here seems to do. I'm not doing anything especially spectacular, but it will be nice to look back on this in a few years and have the whole journey in one spot! So enough of that, Hrere goes!
I bought the car in 2003 at the ripe old age of 14 for 900$. It didnt go, didn't stop, no electricals worked, the paint was peeling, and it had just been hit in the quarter panel by a forklift. But what can I Say, I was in love!  After a few years of polishing contacts to get the electricals to work I went to work stripping the car down for paint in 2005  I was able to get a great deal on the paint job, the only caveat was that it ended up being in the paint shop for around a year!  While the car was at paint I went to work rebuilding the engine:    Attached File(s)
