Alright, so it has been a long journey since I purchased my 1975 914 in spring of 2014. It has been slow progress due in part by being in high school and having to work for money every time I needed a part. But the most important part is the fact that we have another teener back on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It was last registered in august of 1999, before I was even born!! There is still more work of course because an old car is never done but it is 100% running and driving great. This is in HUGE THANKS to Chris and Ed at Tangerine Racing in CT. These guys looked over all the work I had done, fixed what needed to be and gave the engine a nice full tune. It runs and drives beautifully! I will detail all the work that has been done in the sale thread when the time comes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

That is freaking awesome. Congrats brotha. Enjoy having a way cooler car than all of your buds as you've earned it. Also great call on taking it to Chris - I wish I had been that smart in high school!
