This site is amazing...I know I am going to enjoy myself...Incredible amount of posts on this forum...Thanks and a big hello goes out to all of you''''''''''''''Heres my new situation::::::::::::::::::::::::: I am at work Friday and a friend of me tells me his neighbor wants to get rid of for free an Orange 1971 914 looks all original ...I went to look at it today and it looks pretty decent...The guy wasnt home so I couldnt get a good look it had a tarp on the top and I couldnt see in(Didnt want to get SHOT)....The lower panels(Rockers) are missing on both sides panels completely missing and from what I see there is some major decay to where they would attach...The rest of the car is rust free and looks all original..Doesnt seem to bow and has an even height of about 7-8 inches.Has nice chrome push bar looks like stock rear wing...Tires still aired up with nice Stock rims...I opened up the rear trunk and It looked brand new..I didnt pull the mat up....Im told the car has been garaged pretty much since 1988.Sticker shows 89...For any car up here it looks like a 70k mile and no winters type car..Im figuring the top leaked at some point and the humidity rotted out the bottoms through the rockers because the windows were closed for 15 years...Just a guess.............................................Im wondering if I SHOULD GRAB THIS CAR???I weld and am mechanical I like racing Motorcycles and run 4x4 trucks so....Im figuring this is an in between for all the other things I like....Oh yeah F1 racing fan as well....Thanks people......
