[Granite 914]

OH no! another one is joining the ranks.

I recently purchased a '75 car. Rusty, non running, and I know I paid to much for it (1K). It has a 1.8L in it, hasn't run or even been licensed since 2002, but.......it was a beauty in my eye, and came with a extra 2.0L engine, complete (rebuildable, as I'm told) and I couldn't pass it up, coming from a co-worker of mine. Its gonna be a long term project of mine. I'm fairly decent at mechanics with lots of tools , but far from being a professional, or a real "gearhead".

You see in my signature, that I have a couple other Porsches. I've been learning as fast as I can, with a TON to learn yet.

I want this car, I'm not afraid of it, the welding, mechanics, or electrical. I'm 50 years old, and been around a little, with a fairly rounded experience level of such things. I've found out that this forum IS the place to be with the 914. So, I thought it might be time to get in here, and get educated! I'm currently trying to source manuals, and other info as I can. I've read the intro regarding the books and info sources, and I am going after the car's AllDATA.com info soon. Any suggestions as far as cost effective manuals, and other info will be GREATLY appreciated. I NEED it!

I am also seen as Granite 944 on Rennlist, and on Pelican. (don't hold that against me..LOL).

I look forward to all the information, and help this forum can offer! And hopefully, someday, I can be of help to others!

THANKS!!.......in advance.
