Welcome to the family. Would you be a driver or a wrencher?

I am probably more of a driver right now. I am pretty handy but I generally don't do the work on my daily drivers , and the 911 I bought last summer has been trouble free except for oil changes and such. Unfortunately most of my time is spent making money to pay the bills.

As you have already bought the "Donor" car (911) I would say you have started on the path to the dark side! We see 911's as donor cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) . Some will say to keep it stock and others will say "it's yours, do with it what you like"!

Regardless, your doomed to a life of jackstands, an occasional smack across the back of the head from "Cap'n Krusty" and a few others (Ferg, Slits, etc.) for what can be construed as (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) questions! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Put a refrigerator in your garage stocked with beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) and maybe a few Cherry Pepsi's just in case "JRust" decides to stop by, when he is buying up all the 914's in your area! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Other than that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) We like alot of pictures! Even of the "Donor" car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Your screwed, welcome to the madness!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I will put up some pics of the "donor Car" ASAP. Let me look around for some. The car is in storage right now so I can't get any new ones. Jon

Thanks for the tip about Brad Mayeur, I never heard of him until now. Though I'm not ready to get a 914 yet. I need to learn more about what I'm getting into and I also have to convince my wife that buying another sports car is a good idea! (not so easy)

The problem is that Buying a 40 year old sports car is never going to be a good idea. I only got permission to buy a 914 because of some aces I was holding in the negotiation process. I hope to bring home my first teenser next week.

Brad is a very knowledgable and pretty well know source for 914's in your area, I'm sure he can help you down the path of the 914 addiction.

I disagree with Marks desirability pecking order, its more like /6, LE's, 73 2.0L, 74 2.0L then 76 (only 2.0L's) then 73 1.7L after that .....
