Picking up new 914, Subie conversion Options

[Mike1981]

Hello Everyone

I am new to this site.

Lurking for about a month

I will be flying down to Atlanta and picking up Pankopp's converted 914.

Pankopp has been very patient with all of my questions

It looks like a reliable car and I can't wait to drive it home.

If there is anyone from Michigan that has a 914 please chime in.

I am hoping to meet a couple of people with some experience maintaining these cars.

I am new to them but a quick study.

Thank You for any help you can lend

Mike

Have you had someone knowledgeable take a look at it? I ask because I was interested in that car a while back but in the pics there is some kind of metal riveted onto the longs then painted over. It may be for stiffening or it may be hiding a bigger problem with rust.
Otherwise it is a beautiful car. I wanted to buy it and switch it back to chrome bumpers. That green is really pretty.

Good luck and he safe! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have not had anyone look at the car

I did notice the rivets and Pankopp says that there was some work done to the hell hole but has no idea regarding the longs

I plan to look underneath and double check the door fitment

Pankopp assures me the body is solid.

I may be naive, but I feel the car body is solid.

Thanks for the heads up

Mike
