Hey all,

Today, June 10, 2014, I bought my first 914. It is a 1974 1.8, silver.

My first posts on 914 world were in a thread dedicated to my hunt for a 914. It can be found at the following link:

Many, many people here provided a massive amount of fantastic information. I have studied, read, and (hopefully) learned the very basics of 914s.

Now that I own one, I will have a million more detailed questions, and I hope to keep things documented in this thread.

First, a few photos for you:

the paint code should be on a tag on the front drivers side door jam. L96D is on my original silver 73's tag. i've found a auto body supply that will color match and load the paint in cans. when treating the rust consider removing the seam sealer. with a heat gun and a small putty knife the sealer comes out easy. it's the rust that may be, and prob is, under the sealant that complicates the fix. Mar-hyde is a very effective rust conversion/treatment product that is sand able. a little goes a long way and the bottles seem to last forever.
