Hey all.
I bought a running and driving 1974 2.0 white (not light ivory) with the appearance package914 in December of 2012. Since then I have joined this awsome site and have been doing some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) , (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and wrenching . I wanted to document what I have been doing and get some more help along the way. I have already met a bunch of generous and helpful people here on 914 world. (jsconst is my hero) I h made it to two events already. The panckake breakfast in Freemont and the Sacramento area meet last month.

The best thing about these cars is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) right? I am doing all that I can to fix it up while keeping it on the road. I have a reoccuring nightmare of putting it on jackstands and never driving it again. (See I have learned a lot from this site already) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

My plan is to get everything working and in good shape before I tear it completly apart, do the hell hole work and bring it back to the original light ivory color.

Here is what I have done so far....
Brought it home 150 miles on a trailer. It ran but the guy I got it from said the transmission was going out. It wouldnt go into 1st or reverse without grinding. It just needed the clutch cable adjusted! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
