KC area 914 owners? Options

[matrixops]

Hello to all!!!

I am a long time fan of the 914, and recently joined the boards. I am curious if there are any members located in the KC/Topeka area. I am coming into the market to purchase a 914 and local resources/enthusiasts would be great to know.

I have a fairly extensive aircooled background (previous VW ownership), along with electrical/wiring and welding ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) )knowledge.

Well, I know this may be out of place on the technical forum, but there didn't seem to be a general topic forum.

Thanks

Welcome to the club. I'm 4 hours south of you, 2.5 if I'm in a hurry. I was at Lees Summit 2 months ago and bought 6 914s and saw 8 or 9 running around the KC area. They have quit a few parts cars laying around but thats all they are because of the rust is pretty bad in that area. I've sold parts to guys at Ft Riley, Forbes and KC area. I've heard rummor of a guy in KC that has a shop that deals in 914 cars, just haven't had time to check it out. You might check a VW parts store, they will know. I'll be up there later this month or early next month, Ill give you a shout and we'll go hunting.
