Congrats and welcome.

Fixing that left rear fender isn't going to be fun. Ride height also looks goofy, like it's higher in front than in the rear.

Rust? We don't call it rust. I call it the crap that holds the por15 together.

Well, heres a picture of "crap that hold por15 together" haha

As for the engine, lots of grease and such. I pulled it, cleaned it up but it still seems kind of funny. The guy said it had a major oil leak, but I found oil everywhere. It even *leaked* right into the air filter. The darnedest thing! ha
(IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Engine1.jpg)

The interior isn't bad as said before. Just one minor problem....
(IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Seat.jpg)
Someone laid a massive interior eating fart that completely riped my seats to nothing. Thank you Mr. Fart perpitrator

Last but not least is my sexy clutch pedal (complete with peanut shells! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ) The clutch cable broke and I replaced it. Sorry if it's a little fuzzy...
(IMG:http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/Blargh1/Pedals.jpg)

I'll have mor pics up later on in the day! until next time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif)

Wow - you work quickly! My seat had the same problem as your, and was solved by spending $30 bucks on a new/used bottom cushion that looked almost new for being 30 yrs old - way cheaper than hainv it re-covered with teh correct vinyl.

Don't feel bad, most of the 18 year olds I know would think and "oil bath" is

something kinky you do with your girlfriend (or boyfriend - Toast).

By the way nice start. Gap does not look bad on pass door, not sagging yet.

Welcome to the (non)Club. A place of much 914 information. Eberybody should have at least one 914. It is a wonderful piece of driving machinery. And a very nice beginning you have there, Beauty. MSG L
