Look for someone on 914world to go with you and look at the car you're interested in or look for you if the car is too far for you to see personally.

QUOTE(sfrenck @ Apr 10 2014, 10:42 PM)  Look for someone on 914world to go with you and look at the car you're interested in or look for you if the car is too far for you to see personally. Or post a lot of pics of an individual car. People here can pick it apart in no time flat! Bring a flashlight and a mirror, helps look into problem areas. I like it when cars are original color, others don't care, but bookmark this and ask: http://members.rennlist.com/chuxter/914Colors.htm Paul |
