one 914 left my garage, another one drove in Options

[Dutchdriver]

So a few months ago I bought my first 914. It had a lot of work, but I thought I'd give it a go. During dismanteling I discovered the body had loads of rust. Cricitcal rust.
I dind't dare to sneeze while being around the car, because it might fell apart. That car was a steep learning curve for a newby like me.

Anyway, I sold the car to somebody who was up for the job and who had more experience (also in welding), and my search for a 914 started. Again.

Well, I found one. Here it is. It's a 1973 2.0, new complete paint job, recently restored.
Of course it cost me some more $$$, but I think it was really worth it and it this one matches my technical skills a bit better.
Needs work on the brakes, electral (some gauges/switches dont work), install Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio and Hirschman antenna (thanks member 914Sixer for taking the effort to scan and mail me the mounting pattern), some optical work like the center wheel caps, replace some lenses, maybe install original FI since it came with the car and I have it. install the appearance console with gauges etc.
And of course all the stuff I didn't see yet or come across in the future.

But: I am so happy with this car. I can just sit in my garage and look at it and then time passes quickly. I'm 38, but I feel 18 again when I'm looking at the car. I know, sad, but that's what the 914 virus does, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
