Hi Guys,
I'm looking to buy my first 914 and thought I'd say hi and see if the group has any pointers. I've been doing lots of homework and am pretty familiar with the big things to look out for. I'm wondering if you guys could tell me the top 3 or 5 things you've learned about these cars that you didn't know when you bought your first one. Do you guys have any thoughts about 1.8 vs. 2.0, specific model years being better than others from a reliability standpoint? I have a 65 mustang which I've taken apart and reassembled twice. Pretty comfortable doing my own work, but I've never wrenched a german car. Any thoughts on how hard/easy it is compared to american cars from the same era? Thanks! Looking forward to contributing to the group! |
