First 914, just bought my first 914 Options

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.

FI seems intact.

Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm looking for tires now. The ones on the car are borrowed.

Well the car will crank just fine and we have spark. I'm sure the fp is toast, but I have a line on a carb set up to see if I can get it running and driving. I will need to set up the carb and get the brakes to work. I hope the calipers are decent enough for some test runs.

I found more rust on the rear floor boards, hell hole, and seat mounts. The longitudenals seem somewhat fine.
