I wrecked my first 914 after about a month of owning it. Here is my Second Chance. (Title fits with second chance to life as well )

I bought this car for $500 in sequim WA. After towing, food, title, parts (mostly off of my wrecked car), I have about $1000 into it.

Things Done:

- Prepped and painted hood and fender (bondo on fender...it was a mess)

- Troubleshoot f.i., ended up being cold start sensor and fuses!

- Replace drivers seat hinges, as well as seats and interior from other car

- Fix Shifter: Bushings, roll pin.

- Go through electrical fuses and put together/fix left side.

- Change wheels from wrecked parts car.

- Misc. maint...

- Put the whole thing back together...we had pics of what kind of wreck it was in when I bought it...unfortunately the pics got deleted accidentally.


Thankyou all for your help!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I couldn't have done it without this site. I wouldn't have even attempted it without this site. You have put another 914 back on the road and blessed me with the little car. Thankyou

Here are some pics...forgive the bike...that's another piece of pride I put together...
