Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker, 1st time post-er. I purchased my first 914 in 1987. It was a sunflower yellow 1.7 that eventually succumbed to Michigan's harsh climate. I have a 1974 914 that I am converting into a modified 914 GT tribute car. The car was originally from Oregon, and has good rockers, minor hell hole damage, and a rotten rear floor - A relatively clean 914. This is the first time I have attempted a project like this. Started the restoration in January 2021, and it has been a long road. Setting up the garage, sourcing tools, learning to sand blast, weld-fabricate-paint (still learning all three), chasing down parts, receiving box after box. Big thank you to Ian Megale, Jeff Robenolt, and Chris Baker for parts, assistance, and advice. I am 18 months in, so apologies for the posting catch up.  |
