General Information

Vehicle Name	10 yr toy
Year	1973
Make	Porsche
Model	914--->6gt replica 2.8 twin plug
Color	Guards red
History	Accuired in 2000, it was my second car that started my love for Porsche automobiles across the board. I rebuilt the 1.8L L-Jet engine, but had to install Webers on it because the mechanics cost way too much to try and repair the bosch system. Rebuilt the motor a second time with more upgrades, but that only lasted a couple more years. I purchased a 72E engine in pieces from a friend, and rebuilt it.

I need to get a new pic, I recently cut & rubbed the car including a wax job too.
