Greetings, I am new to your board but not to the make or model. I have decided to build a 914 for my daughters 16th birthday. Contemporary logic is always buy the best car you can afford, however I can do all the work and its a father daughter project so we will be buying the most rust free car we can find, as put some sweat equity into the project.
I look forward to being a positive member, making new friends, and learning from the vast knowledge base. I will pour over the classifieds, craigslist, etc etc, but I am looking for a candidate if anyone has leads. Thanks for having me/us. |

The added plus: none of her friends will be able to drive the manual transmission. My kid went to college with a manual, never had to worry about everyone always borrowing her car!

QUOTE(Calwaterbear @ Dec 27 2017, 08:06 AM)  The added plus: none of her friends will be able to drive the manual transmission. My kid went to college with a manual, never had to worry about everyone always borrowing her car! My son is here from NYC for the holidays. While we were driving back and forth to the hospital to be with Super In Law, he mentioned the same thing. Never thought of it. Both my sons drove 914's thru High School in rural Montana ................. No real issues. One dented fender, slid off the road while shifting on an tree shadow (ice). One speeding ticket (pretty tough to do in MT., bad day, $5), that was the 70 hp car. One broken clutch cable. Only problem I see living in Florida is that the top will be off most of the time at school and her friends will want to climb all over the car. Not Good. Hoods dent pretty easy. Doug's has dents on the roll bat from people walking on it. LOL. |
