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.
