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. |

My first 914 was intended to be for our son when he turned 16, passed along from a close friend of the family. Since it was not a practical car for him given a classic in the snow, salt, rain, and high-school parking lot, I took possession of the car and will be passed along to him when he can manage it with a garage of his own. However, for the last 6 years he has been driving it, working on it, appreciating it, and looking forward to full-time ownership.
Our kids grew up with manual tranny cars cars on the road and track with none of the nannies of today's tech-laden vehicles. They do their own repairs/mods, except my daughter, but she hangs in the garage and at least appreciates the work. All adults now with no accidents or senseless violations. She will be a better driver with this experience. And I agree Cairo, spend extra if need be to avoid rust. And feel free to post photos and details of potential cars for feedback.
