Hi! I'm finally starting to tear into my 914 restoration and I thought I should introduce myself before starting into my flurry of questions. I've been lurking around for a while and this board seems like a great resource with really great people.
Here's my project car... Looks like a reasonable daily driver doesn't it? (IMG:http://www.anschlagen.net/914.jpg) It's not... But I knew that when I bought it - the previous owner was very upfront about the condition (he even told me about this board!). It' not like it's a basket case, I've got the parts in cardboard boxes... Lots and lots of cardboard boxes... As far as I know this car is a '74 1.8, paint is original (but 30 years of mountain sun mean you can take it down to primer with your fingernail), and I have no idea when it picked up the 2.0 wheels, but I've got 5 of 'em! BTW it had an original windshield too, but my first resto lesson was that 30 year old adhesive is stronger than glass. Anyway, I know a bit about fabrication from building rockcrawling Jeeps but this a different animal... I'm still looking in the boxes for the radiator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... Thanks in advance for the help! -Andy Neal |

I remember where the Prime Minister was, i Used to live .5 mile from there. I don't know when you were last in Fort Fun but there's an Olive Garden there now - and it's getting hard to tell where Fort Collins ends and Loveland begins.
Close! It's the last real ledge on the Poison Spider Mesa / Golden Spike / Gold Bar Rim circuit in Moab - beautiful country out there. It looks like there are a good number of 914 folks around here. One other funny thing... I've never driven one... Always liked them, was offered this one for a song, and picked it up, but the engine was already out, one of these days!
