Thanks for the comments. If I had ever known what it would take to put this on the road I would have not done it or gone a different route. Used BBI on a 996, was a much better experience. Will say that the Stinger body draws the crowds.

My love of air cooled VW's was my path to my 914's. In 1984, when I was 18, I bought a 1959 VW ragtop Beetle from a former employee of the head shop I was working at. That was my daily driver for years, and the car I was driving when I met my wife in 1986. It hasn't run in years, but I still have it. I've always intended to restore it, but life, garage space, and a creaky back have convinced me that is unlikely. So....ran across this 1962 ragtop for sale at the California Auto Museum and yesterday it came home with me. It joined my 1967 Karmann Ghia convertible in our garage in Berkeley. Here at our house in Richmond I have my Bumblebee and a pristine 1.8. With four cars I think I have now crossed the line from "enthusiast" to "collector." Thankfully (?) I'm now out of indoor parking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

When warmer weather comes around I'll start trying to find a new steward for it, someone who will actually restore it. A cancer free original California car so it shouldn't be too much a challenge.. ![]() |

I will be adding this back to the collection in a few months. 83 ROW SC with a built 3.2 motronic, LSD, other track goodies. My son bought this from me a few years ago but he's exiting the military and starting a business later this year so he needs the $$'s. I'll be putting this back to a more comfortable street configuration. Replacing poly bushings with rubber, remove roll bar and put the interior back to stock. Maybe add AC. I'll be selling my GT Tribute and likely my 70 1.7 to make room.
