Well, its CONFIRMED! I'm definately outta my mind!
I went ahead and bought this car, even AFTER looking at it!
It is what I thought it was, and maybe even a little worse.
I know I paid to much for it, but, what the hay! Maybe it'll work out. If not, then, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE.......huh.
anyway.......here is a couple of pics taken earlier this summer from my buddy.
and,i have NO idea, when I'm going to get around to working with this one!
I SITLL can't believe my wife going along with this! But, she did say it was "darling" hehe!

If you have a good chassis/bad engine 914 seems like you could have quite a car for less than $5k. Well, that is what I have been thinking about recently.
Keep the wife, sell some of the cars!

Regardless of the choice it's still alot better than a 160hp Subaru...
