New to 914- Wyoming Options

[ThemWyatts]

bought my first 914 sight unseen from an impound lot 4 days ago, where it had been sitting for some time in the rain with the windows down. I drove over 1,300 miles to get it. Got there and truly fell in love. I am amazed at how much this car has affected me. To my relief it started on the first try. I was hooked at that very moment. I will be hooked forever!
I have a lot of work ahead of me, as we all do, I am no exception. Everything is original as best as I can tell, including the paint, it has a few missing spots on the hood and very little exterior rust. Luckily, there was a documentation binder in the car and I was able to track down the 2nd owner. I am the 4th owner. The 2nd owner sent me photos of the car in its Glory Days. I am anxious to get it back to the car it once was. I am not sure where to begin, but I found this forum and have been reading as much as I can. There is so much info and resources here. I truly have hope, thank you.

It seems to be leaking some oil, so any advice would be helpful , ie chronic problems, what to do not to do , where to start? I am also looking for a body decal that is no longer on the car, I am sure it was after market, but I really like the look of it. If anyone knows a resource for finding it, I would really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am unable to load the picture, but will gladly e-mail it to you, if you have an outlet for one. It had einke wheels, which are now gone and it has maybe VW?? wheels on it, and of course all of the tires are all mismatched. So I am really not sure what size they should be. I don't want to flair the fenders. If anyone has a clue, please let me know. I would also like to get an original set of rims as well. I know.... all in good time.

This is my project car and I will be contacting many of you for desperate assistance, I am sure. I may also be trying to outbid you or buy from you on e-bay, please don't take the outbidding part too personal. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

I am also very sure that I will be replacing my computer keyboard soon, from frantic typing to the forums here with oily hands.

Thanks again everyone! Keep posting and I will keep reading!

If anyone is in the Colorado-Wyoming area, I would love to hear form you. Drop me a line .
