In '74 I had a college roomate that showed up after thanksgiving break with a brand new 914 2.0. Extractor exhaust, Konis, etc. I have wanted one ever since. I understand though, that rust is an ever present problem in 914's. It's hard to find, and hard to repair. If you are looking for a weekend project, this could dissappoint you. If you understand the size of the task, the final result could be wonderful.
