Hi folks. Been a while since I've been a Porsche owner. I've had a '62 356, a few 914s, a '74 911 and even worked for a while at an independent Porsche shop here in the SF Bay Area. Anyway, I just purchased a '74 914 that's been sitting since 1987. Good news is it was in a covered garage. Got it home and started poking around only to find...
...it's in remarkably good shape. It's got a couple small dings on the body and a crap respray that's literally falling off but other really, no sign of any rust. I've begun collecting parts for the chassis stiffening and 5 lug conversion but have yet to decide on narrow body or flares. Also have to determine V8, 6 conversion, Subaru. (Is it true a Cayenne won't fit?) Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and thank you all for creating and maintaining such a great community. And thanks in advance for answering all the questions that are sure to come. Wish me luck, I'm goin' in! Chris Attached thumbnail(s) |

Some more goodies arrived! Fachs. I decided to go 17", 7 and 9. Pic make me want to see if these would look good on the Rambler. She's a 1962 American, just like my lovely wife! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
And the drive train decision has been made, too: LS3 and a Boxster 6 speed The trans arrived today, too but it's still in the crate so pics later. I'm excited. Attached thumbnail(s) |
