Well, I am now officially in the "2 or more club"...

73 2.0, fuel injected

Has some nice parts on it..

This will need attending to. The door jam gaps are still good, and it holds a load.
thomasotten
The kids love to play in it...and I let them!

Here's a shot next to Mr. sexy pants... both are 73 models...

I am still wondering why I bought it...

Nice looking Fuchs. Original bolts also; I can see the green copper corrosion on the heads.

BTW, now you have two,I can see a third in the near future. It is a sickness I can deal with.

Really, not to hijack, but "green copper corrosion?" Is that what I see on my Fuchs lug bolts? How do I get the refinished? Thanks.

Oh, and the reason you got the second car is 'cause the first car was getting lonely!

Oh, and Mr Rotten, the reason you got the second car is 'cause the first car was getting lonely! And, with both being blue they are of the same subspecies...

Looks like a nice saver.......you will have to get a third soon enough ...one for each kid smile.gif


Don't start worring about the number you own till they reach double digits........ I'm picking up #9 next week and I'm not worried smile.gif

Not crazy about the color (olympic blue?), but it does match the forum!

My car is oly. blue also, not crazy about the color either BUT after much deliberation on what color to paint it, guess what color it's going to be?

OLYMPIC BLUE blink.gif

I am kinda looking for another 914 also, it is a sickness

You can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it biggrin.gif

I agree!

My first was a 73 2L Oly Blue with tan.

A nasty rat. Seemed like it was always getting stronger, then I sold it and the NO wrapped it around a telephone pole and walked away.

Got a Bahia Red next. Should have never sold that one.

Still kicking myself over that one.
