Hi, I am a new forum member who just jumped in head first into the 914 flow. Was a combination of jeffdon's willingness to pass on his '76 under a tarp' and general crazyness on my part for taking on yet another project instead of finishing what I already have going. Not sure of the plan. Initial idea was a track day car but who knows where this will go. Should be a fun learning about the 914, getting into some welding and making a big mess in the backyard. At minimum, my cat will enjoy something new to walk on plus I have already benefited by getting rid of the boat in my driveway that should not have been there in the first place. Here's a few pics..

In all seriousness, you are in the right place. There are many knowledgeable people here and most are willing to help out with knowledge, time and even the occasional part.

Appreciate the welcome! Flares appear to be an over zealous fender roll job. Seems to be done well but not sure how I feel about them. Maybe they can be made to take on the shape of the wheel opening more (GT inspired?). Might change them if there is energy left after climbing out the hell hole and all that goes with it. And about that smog.. big bummer.. Have the same issue with my 78 SC. Hope something changes on that front.

Nice project, welcome.

You can always seal up the body and make it into a boat.

Welcome to the fun

And I am the one that sold it to Mark! It will be cool to be able to keep up with the car's progress.

And I have warned him that this will all end with standing around some parking lot somewhere, drinking beer and talking 914's with other teener nuts. beerchug.gif
