Greetings all, I recently purchased a 1974 914 with a stock 1.8 FI I found this forum in doing research on parts and tech advice. So I signed up and here I am..
I do belong to a few other sites that are helpful with other cars and I seem to be having issues when searching .. So it may be user error but I seem to be having trouble when search on here.. Currently trying to figure out why I have no brake lights, so I simply searched on here "No Brake Lights" or brake switches or brake lights.. I get thousands of threads and sometimes it will take me reading dozens of post's just to find anything related.. Maybe I'm searching wrong, I usually just go on the main page and hit search and type in a term.. Am I doing something wrong, any and all help is appreciated |

Thanks, everyone for the words of encouragement..
I've always loved these cars and being a VW man I actually had a bus with a similar motor once which my friend an I rebuilt. Obviously I can tell right off the bat I see many differences.. This car was somewhat of an impulse buy, wasn't really even looking just searching marketplace one morning as I do most mornings and I saw it listed 30 min ago in the next town over.. I did a little boning up online about what to look for, shot over looked it over drove it made the guy an offer he said yes.. I wish I'd have done a bit more looking it over and the guy selling it was a little bit of a fast talking salesman who kinda lied about a few things but all in all its a pretty solid car with everywhere i look it doesn't seem to be missing a lot.. The paint job re-sell red looks nice but its a fast job with lots of sprayed bolts, and a few places they didn't tape so good but its mine now.. After day one when I broke the door handle off in my hand I wasn't so sure but now a few weeks in i'm starting to love and admire her more and more, so i think I'll stick with it for a while.. Glad this place and you all are here to help, thanks.. |
