I bought my first 914 yesterday. It's a 71 and seems to be mostly original with not too bad of a rust issue. I see some on the floor pans a little, but all the suspension mounting points don't seem to bad.
I am not sure what I am going to do with this project so far, but I want to get it running first and decide. It has sat for many many years, at least 8 here in TX, several in CA, originally from Montana...I think. The motor does turn though so that's a good sign I think. It' still FI. I have gotten familiar with air cooled cars over the past 3 years. I usually run around on Pelican. I am working backward on these cars. I started with a turbo for my first air cooled car and have had several since and still have a couple, now three. Here are a few pics. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i475.photobucket.com-15740-1365343283.1.jpg) FI seems intact.
