Okay, folks, could use some help here. I'm taking a look at this car on Thursday. It looks pretty good in the photos, but being new to 914s, I'd love it if the folks here could let me know if you see anything I should be worried about.
I've posted an entire set of photos to Flickr here: http://flickr.com/photos/jeffreysmith/sets...57604097717696/ (IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2060/2328288390_34f9401e67.jpg) |

A few minor details...
Wrong shift boot and knob ... looks like it came out of a 915... Wrong Speakers... Fuchs are a question mark.... real ones are anodized (or completely polished)... fakes are painted as you see these, BUT... perhaps a PO painted these to resemble the five spoke Fuchs??? Pull a wheel and check for the Fox logo on the reverse...(Fuchs = Fox) Probably more but that is a quick once over... Drive the car for more than 50 miles... a short testdrive will not disclose the real issues if the fuel injection is screwed up... |

Wrong shift boot and knob ... looks like it came out of a 915... Wrong Speakers... Depending on your use for the car, these are nice upgrades. That's a RennShift shifter under that boot and the speakers are mounted in the pods from 914 Appearance and Performance. |

QUOTE Depending on your use for the car, these are nice upgrades. That's a RennShift shifter under that boot and the speakers are mounted in the pods from 914 Appearance and Performance. The owner also just informed me that he has the original boot and shift knob, so this is now much less of a concern. |
