Bought my car about 6 years ago, almost 7. At the time it was my first 914, and I was excited to get it running. it was not running and we were thinking at the time of doing an EV as a father/son project but once running I just could not do that to the car. turns out that was a wise move! BUT... I did do a couple things that I wish I had not and , if I had it to over again I would not - because those things have now come back to cost some $$ to fix ----
1. put 911/93 seat in it - no I have to have some floor pan repair done, because the original mounts on the drivers side were taken out - could be worse, since the floor had pitting and a rust hole, it needed to be replace anyway but... I liked the comfort of the seats, I should have just got the GTS seats instead 2. when doing the 5 lug conversion I put 7" fuchs on and the shop that put them on didn't pay attention to the fact that the were rubbing- barely but enough that I caused the paint to blister, and worse yet they really fuched it up trying to roll out the fenders, thus the repair work that is now being done on it at CFR as we speak 3. Not fixing the rust issues first BEFORE getting into replacing the interior etc etc. So- anyone else willing to pass on some words of wisdom to others along this line of "wish I hadn't done that" ?? well we live and learn , sometimes the hard way- next time I would do that!!!
