Hello 914 world! Ive been lazily lurking here for way too long and finally decided
to change that tonight. So heres my 1st contribution to all this 914 awesomeness. This is my 914 back in 2010 when I started the rust repair. I'm almost done with rust repair now and I have lots of pics but I have to resize and post latter. It seems like these pics are gonna work even though they are big so I guess we'll see what happens.

No Thomas I wish it was a 356 but its only my 70 vw fastback, which is no longer mine. If I would've had $2000 back in the mid/late 90's I could have had one. O well I guess almost all of us have the one that got away stories. But at least I have my rockin, rusty 914! And thank goodness its not so rusty anymore! I almost can't believe its been 2 yrs that I've been workin on this thing. My goal now is to fire it up before the end of aug. So i'll get back to the pics so y'all can get caught up to how it currently looks. Heres 2 of the dr long pretty much buttoned up. And I'll find a pic of the fasty and post it later, if I don't forget.
