Thanks for the comments gents. she has a 1.9L under her skirt, thanks to Dominic Celia. He use to be my mechanic back while she lived in California. I just had her repainted and she is as straight as an arrow. She only has a little rust in the battery compartment - go figure..... the interior was completed by a friend of mine in Stockbridge GA. He reworked the original seats with the silver material. I like to keep her as original as possible, just customizing to my taste. I bought the euro lenses from camp 914 but one of the lenses came in cracked - I'm waiting to get it back, although she has the turn light upgrade in it already. I'm a newbie and now that I've moved to Miami - am getting more "involved" (hands-on) - you will get tired of hearing me beg for help.... thanks again and happy holidays.

Sweet car! I do like silver. What kind of wheels are those? I don't think I've ever seen that type on a 914 before.

Very nice car.
When I saw the first photo, I thought your front hood was dented. Then I realized it was the reflection of a palm frond!
Palm trees are cool.

I can't believe you misspelled my last name.......anyway did you tell them that you drove it cross country (Northern California to Florida) without a problem?
The car has some nice upgrades like a sideshifter and some BMW front brakes, not to mention a peppy little 1.9L that I bought from Jimmy Pita.
The new paint looks sweet!

That's funny, I bought my car from Eli and Jim Pitta. Are either of those guys on the BBS?

Dom - sorry about the mispell - but the intent was to give you a great big shout and recognized as a awsome mechanic! Yeah, I did forget to mention the BMW brake kit, and the side shifter, but as usual - you got my back.....
You sure your last name is not spelled Celia????
