912E

Hey,

Just wanted to introduce myself, just purchased a 912E from a somewhat local guy who owned it for 17 years!

I am looking forward to reading about this interesting vehicle here.

Will post pics in a few days.

Welcome Ralph. Pics are obligatory here!

Thanks Pat; OK then, I'll post one seller pic and hopefully post my own in the next few days!

Here she is- Silver sunroof 912E.

Thanks Tickle! I agree it means something. Can't wait to drive her. I'll be away till Wednesday, and she should be waiting for me at home when I get there if all goes well.

Here she is-finally in my hands!

I can not believe what 89HP can do, this thing is fun to drive! My DD is almost the complete opposite of this car- 350HP, AWD, and 4(or 5) doors. I can not go back to driving that and I haven't even fixed the A/C on this yet.

What a fantastic little car- I now get it.

I hope to own this 912E forever!

Here's what I'm going to do for her in the short term- ANY tips appreciated

• Oil change and filter
  
• Check brake fluid
  
• Check brakes and rotors
  
• Check fuel injectors
  
• Check body seals especially sunroof
  

• Comfort and convenience
  
• Add A/C vents and switches as soon as I figure out which vents I need. Apparently there were 2 incompatible systems used on these.
  
• Add rear seatbelts
  
• Add a radio (already has all speaker wiring)
  
  
• Cosmetic
• Polish fuchs wheels
  
• Add chrome headlight rings (the ones on there are not the thick ones I like)
  
• Add vintage period correct NY plates.
  
• New mats

If there is ANYTHING else I should be doing immediately, I'm all ears!

I love this "I can not believe what 89HP can do, this thing is fun to drive! My DD is almost the complete opposite of this car- 350HP, AWD, and 4(or 5) doors. I can not go back to driving that and I haven't even fixed the A/C on this yet.

Please tell us more..

I'm just loving the pep on this light little machine. My Ford is 1000lbs heavier and while I love it, it's hard to compare it to the handling marvel that is the 912E!
