Hello everyone. I’m Michael and this is my 73 2.0 82,000 ish on the ODO. I’m out in NM if anyone else is out here feel free to reach out. Previous owner had it for 13 years and only put about 3k on it. Needs some TLC but is slowly coming along.

Haven't been getting out to NM as much as I'd like lately, welcome to the fold.

You found the right place to get the best information. Welcome to the addiction!

Welcome again, I send you a PM days ago, glad you found the 914 garageClick to view attachment

Hey Michael - Welcome! You're gonna have some fun! Tell us about the car.. Looks like the paint is descent from that shot. NM is dry.. maybe not too much rust?

Good looking car. Welcome to the world of fun.

...and welcome to the addiction. Don't say we didn't warn you

Hi Michael - Welcome to the madness of our little cars that we love so dearly. You have a great car to start with that's for sure. Good luck as you bring her back to her former glory.

Yes it’s not too bad, definitely some under the rocker panels. Side sails look good. It’s a 2.0 82 thousand miles originally ravenna green now some red color (unsure if it is Porsche color code or not) needs a new clutch, weather strips/ seals and a good tune up but it does run and drive well (clutch is a little weak and grinds in first and reverse unless I put it into another gear first) needs seats and some more odds and ends. Bought locally. Last owner had it for 13 years and only put about 3 k on it. Paint is 5 out of 10 and it has bilsteins already which is a plus for me

Yes, thank you for directing me to the right place!

Thank you, of course I will be posting and updating along the way

Welcome!

Nice car...best of luck with it.

Looks like a great project! You really can't go wrong with a '73 2.0, but what do I know?

Best 914 hang out place

Nice looking car, enjoy the madness...

Looks like a great start if you ever take it down ravena green is an awesome color . I have some extra stuff pm me if I can help

Nice car and welcome.

you have landed in the right place, enjoy the ride!

This is a great place for 914 owners

Thanks! I am actually in the process of seeing how much compounding and polishing I can get away with.

Welcome to the addiction

Another Albuquerque 914 owner here. Nice car and welcome. My brother (69 911) and I love to go for drives in the East Mountains. Join us sometime!

lol If you hit ravena green you went too far. Hopefully the red clear coat has some thickness to work with. Original paint thickness is so thin imho. Just waiting to rust out... and they did.

Welcome to a great place for a 914 owner!
If you decide to go for a bit longer of a drive after you get her all sorted out, first beer is on me!

73 2.0

Hi there, looks like a great car. Ive got a 73 2.0 as well but not looking quite as tidy as yours yet! You've found the best website and community around to help with what turns into an addiction!

Welcome from your Arizona neighbors.

Careful, you might enjoy 914World and the people you meet here far more than the restoration . . .

Best of luck!
