Just an update guy's,
I picked the 914/6 up today around 1:30pm and trailerd it back to my shop Autobahn Garage in Findlay Ohio. John is a very nice person, It was great to meet him face to face and talk about the direction that he want's the project to go. As if you cannot tell in the pictures this is one NICE 914/6!!! It needs a few things but it's 30 plus years old, they all need a little work now and then. That beenig said I plan to start the project in the next few days and give John a list of the things I think need to be looked at and repaired or replaced to make this car all it can be.


If there is anyone in the area that would like to stop by and have a look (but not touch) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) at Very nice 914/6 do so. I will keep you guy's updated as I move foward on it. Oh I forgot to mention Autobahn Garage is located at 642 rockwell ave in Findlay Ohio 419-957-7210 call me or just stop by. John's pride and joy is setting next to a dozen or so Porsches in the shop.

Looking to get Tab's outline and estimate's in the next day or so then we will target a few small projects so I can drive the car some time in May. I'll ask him to document before/progress/after shots and post on this site.

Also getting the '76 2.0 back on the road this weekend after getting the rear wheel straightened out--great ride and handling with the Forgeline 17's (running Toyo Proxes 205/40R 17's on them) but one good chuck hole or curb and it's another $100-250 to straighten out the wheel and often replacing the tire!!!

Here's what the 4 looks like when she's not sick!!

Enjoy!!
