Hello. I just bought a 1976 914. First Porsche, first pre 80's car.

I'm very excited as have been looking forward to owning one for a while. The car isn't perfect so I'm gearing up to start restomoding it to be more practical and more reliable.
I don't know anything about the Porsche, having been a Bimmer guy up to now but I'm eager to learn.

Car needs an alternator and probably transmission rebuilt and some other electrical issues.
I'm in the Houston area, any one else around this neck of the wood?

thanks.
EasyB
