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. |

Aidan, I am a big car fan and got my first car in 1975 when I was 14 in NZ - My uncle helped me restore it and get it road worthy. I drove it up and down the driveway until I was legal at 15 to drive. I'll never forget that car. I also did some very stupid things in that car. Priceless.
So I understand the sentimental aspects and the great father/daughter aspects also. However, 2017 is a different time and place, no matter where you live. Its the other crazy person you have to worry about. Today, in my personal view, having any 16 year old have a daily driver without airbags is a risk that you really want to consider very carefully. If its not her daily driver then thats ok. Airbags were mandated in 1998, so there are many used cars out there with airbags. Just my two cents worth, and not in any way imposing on your own judgement and views. |
