Hi everyone, just bought this 1970 914 and waiting for it to arrive. Needs some work, always wanted one of these; couldn't pass it up. I also have a '77 slantnose 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions, like where to pick up a correct rear valance?

The 1977 is your donor car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Best of luck with the purchase, can't wait to see pictures.

haha thanks. Yes a 3.0 has occurred to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This has a single Weber (I've heard that is far from optimal)

Obviously will need a rear valance. And so much more.

I'm close, Santa Clarita if you need help. And my VW Club, German Ledgeds, is based in Chatsworth. We also accept 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) because I'm the Pres. !

Looks like a good start.
BTW, careful... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif)

Thanks for the warm welcome.

@914r75 thanks, it's white I'm pretty sure. The car will be with me in the next two weeks. It's coming from Florida to SoCal.

@MikeD I'll PM you. My first car was a '62 Ghia -- love VW's, though I don't own one now.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Always nice to welcome a new member. Nice car too. Once you get it in your garage do a thorough front to rear, top to bottom inspection. Safety items first then make it a reliable driver. Cosmetics after that. I would recommend tackling one issue at a time so you don't get overwhelmed. Once they go on jack-stands, they tend to get comfortable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Welcome and good luck with your 914.
You purchased a white 914 in Florida and shipped it to California. I purchase a white one in California and shipped it to Florida (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .
I agree with Cairo94507.
Make it safe.
Make it reliable.
Make it pretty.
Enjoy it in good health.
Bill.
