I bought the yellow '73 in March, and have done a lot of work and replaced a lot of parts on it. I'm starting to think I'm plugging holes on the Titanic. If it's not one thing, it's another. I should have started with a better car(?) I should sell it and buy a better one(?) I'm at that juncture and need to make a decision. What to do..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

A 914 is one of the greatest cars to drive. Just the feel of it on the road is a joy. I have been in love with them since I saw one on my paper route when I was 12. Fast forward about 30 years & I have owned many. I have had way to many projects I never finished. To many I have bought & sold to help fund my car. To many years of owning 914's & not driving them. A 914 project can be a great thing too. They tend to lose what makes them great when all you do is work on it. Or it spends multiple years on jackstands. Getting a nice solid car you can drive. I think is important to having a successful project. Meaning have 2 cars. One your working to make the ultimate 914 you want. One to drive daily that you can enjoy & inspire you to work on the project.
