So to start of my 914world posting career I'd like to introduce my self. The name is diego, 19 year from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I really want some feed back sooooo let's get tooo it. I got my first 914. It's a 73' 914 1.7 the original color was this light blue but later was painted white. The Porsche was bought back in 73 and was sold to the previous owner back in 76. The car was later purchased this year by me. The car came with the black, Red key and a little pouch thing. I also have 2 folders filled with receipts dated backed from 76' till 09'. actually when I bought the car the title is from 76 and was surprised by the looks of it. The car runs like a beast and also it has 128k miles. Nowww for questions....

Do the receipts dated back froom 76 til 09 add value to the car? (I mean it shows that the car has been in good hands, I would guess it does help the value of the car.

Would adding GT flares, different bumper and spoiler effect the value of the car? I'm not sure if. I plan on restoring to its original look. But I just love how beast the car looks with gt flares and bumper etc...

That's really the main questions I have right now. Thank you all. Much love.

Diego.

Drive it, drive it then drive it some more. Keep it stock until you know what your budget is. Register the VIN in the Members VIN's section of 914 Info at the top right of the page. Check for the amount of rust on your car. Carbs or FI? Receipts are nice but I think with a more than 30 year old car, some repairs are due again. Check the condition of the fuel hoses. Bookmark the site by pbanders (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Download the electrical schematics from Pelican Parts. As far as flairs and bumpers go, remember, it's your car and you can do with it what your want. "Beauty is in the eye of the key-holder". And ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
