Just bought my first car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hopefully the weather gets better so i can drive. Makes it difficult with this humidity when the heat and defrost don't work. Looks like previous owner removed the heat lever and covered it with carpet.

Your first car, this is the car you will always remember, no matter how many you will have in a lifetime.
Just drive it and learn from the experience. Make sure you go on a thorough search for the rust and previous damage. Take a look at some of the old threads to get an idea what you are looking for.
Have fun. Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

And I suggest that you buy a fire extinguisher for it and mount it in a handy place inside the car, and do it soon.

Does water leak in here?

Congrats! A 914 is a great first car so long as its mechanically sound.

This was mine when I picked it up at 14years old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Me too. I was thinking about sanding it down and repainting it black though. The paint is pretty rough.

It does leak in water. I need to get it fixed asap. It's currently garaged right now though. More worried about this.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Attached Image
