Hi folks.
I’m new to the forum and new to 914’s which I really like the look of but have actually never driven one! I’m looking to buy but don’t know really know what I should be looking out for? Any words of wisdom from you guys would be very much appreciated. I’m in Sarasota, Florida |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with all of the above,when I bought mine as a restored roller I had already decided I was past rust cutting,welding,sanding and painting ,fitting the "6" and getting it driving was really enjoyable as I had all the parts to do so with the exception of most of the oil lines.
My last full resto was on a euro Golf mk2 GTI ,did it pretty much full time over 4 months,this is the last full resto I will do. If you have the skills buy a well sorted daily driver and do a rolling resto,if you have only basic skills buy a really nice car that someone else has spent a fortune on. Try to organize a test drive of one ,these cars aren't for everybody,good luck. |
