Intro...

Hi everyone. My name is David Dustan....
I just bought my first 914 (1974 1.8) and am very happy with the purchase! The car was babied and is pretty close to show/stock. It was never outside in rain.
I have checked seals and found the window / top seals need replacement but all others are intact... including trunks, doors, etc. The interior is dry and in outstanding condition with console and 8-Track player. Trunks are original with not a scratch, ding or speck of rust. Original wheels are on the car and in good shape.
Engine runs great but I get almost a rattling noise on deceleration. I had a '77 bus that did the same thing and it was the heat exchangers. Think it is the same here?
I am picking up a Haynes manual, have ordered a cover and bra for this car since I have found how easy ding show up on the leading edge of the front trunk lid.
I'll have lots of questions as I go but I appreciate the community!
