I'm right behind you on getting mine finished in a couple of months. I can hardly wait
myself as mine been setting for about 20 years.
Congratulations must feel very good about being able to drive it real life instead of
dreaming about all the time.

You left the little fact that it is a 3.2 out of your post.
Just thought some might find that interesting.
Good Job.
Another 914-6 on the road.

Post the link to the video!
And get that thing aligned and put it the rest of the way together, and bleed the brakes again (the old school way, or check how Andy did his with lots of tubing).
Just giving you a difficult time.
