Here's a brief story on my 73 914. I purchased the first 73 in 1983. It was not running and was a complete rust bucket. I was young and dumb and lacked resources of money and skill. A few years later (1989) I found a very nice chassis that had been dipped and purchased it. Made some progress with it, got married and changed jobs in 1990 and life got in the way. I retired in 2022 and finally decided to get this project finished in November of 2023. Here's some photos of the project.
