i got it today 1973 1.7 2300 buck no real bad rust. good paint but it runs like poop.

im so proud my 1st 914.

Congrats Dieter! You coming over tomorrow? Map is here:

Directions, map and contact info

ohhh yeah i'll be there, what time should i come?, i work at 3.30 so any time before that!!.

im confused as to why i cant post a pic. i know i am doing it right ive done it a million times, but not here.

We're starting at 09:00.

Keep trying, you'll get it. You see the post pic area don't you? Browse for the pic in the file attachments section and post. Make sure your image isn't too large. 300k or something like that is the limit.

here it is

Not bad!

Cool. Looks decent.

Also.. dont "preview" your post when you try and add a pic.. it removes it from the post.

Hey Gint..

I really think we should create a "Events area" and break it down into sub categories for each area. I HATE when I dont know that an 914 event/gathering is going to happen.

I know the Colorado guy's use yahoo ... but I dont read it and I *might* show up one day for a gathering IF I knew when they where happening.

We should have posted a seperate thread. But being on call this week, I haven't had time to scratch my ass. We should have quite a few local guys pop in and out during the day. We're installing a motor (2.0 from the brown car - LOL) into Brant's 914 that I hauled back from NorCal. I've devised a way to install a 914 motor on my lift. The motor and tin won't fit between the rails of the 4 post lift. I wanted to try it on a 4 cylinder before wrestling with my /6 again.

Most of the locals are on the yahoo list. Dieter's new though. I grab every new club member and try to get them on local. There are a bunch on the yahoo list that I can't get to come over here. Some folks don't want to go web.

Ok.

Cant win them all.

Damn pager just went off again.

There was a guy that put up a web board for the locals and it never got any use.

what about an area like the NE guys have, seems like they use it

Hey Freedom, looks good !!
You did check behind those plastic side panels for rust, too, right ?
I'll be looking for it on Hwy 285 !

yeah i checked for rust there, there is a little rust by the pan right in front of the rear wheel. i took the battery out and there is rust there but surface rust nothing else, not real bad. the trunk has some rust on a panel in the back that went through, but it looks like i can just weld a new piece in.

right now i need to get the car running right. i might not be able to make it down to town before work today unless these people that come to look at the house show up. I have to get my dog out of the house, she is mean when i am not around, but i'll try and make it.

peace.

oooh yeah and i added the other pictures to the 1100+ repies of 914 pics post.

dieter,

nice car..
people around here can defintely help you get it running better when you have the time...

the car we played on today was nearly the same color.....

cool and congrats.

We missed ya...

Today would have been a great day for a new 914 owner. I consider it highly successful. A good learning experience for dropping (installing really) a motor. But I think we'll be doing some more "work get-togethers" in the near term.

Kevin's talking about cutting up a tub...

like i said, if i can make it, i definately need to meet the locals. joined the group on Yahoo aswell.

nice looking car,err? Dieter? Freedom!
Yes,a gatherin' of a sort in the near future to chop up my tub is in the works. I'm also hoping to to put together a day to "Take out an engine" for rookies who never has done it yet,Right Rueben?

I saw that. Welcome. Send out a post to the group and tell everyone about your new 914.



Is that you Kev?!? Welcome to the board!

hey kevin.. cool to see you here...
(watch out though.. its addicting)..

I was thinking kevin, I'm serious that you need to come do some track event at PCA this year so we can ride in the car together...

what is it going to take to get the green car there....
I'm willing to help out...

I'll email you off list about seatbelts, there was something I wanted to tell you..

brant

Uh-oh... Now you've had it Kevin. Brant is relentless...

hey I wouldn't say that.... (at least not out loud you'll scare him off)...

I've been pestering him a while already to soften the blow...

and anyways... I only put you off track once that day.

That wasn't your fault. I was the "nut behind the wheel" IIRC.
