Finally got a good pic of my new love....
She is damn near perfect condition and runs beautifully (only thing is a slightly low idle - about to post on that in tech talk). Both POs took such good care of her and the guy I bought her from was so nice to put an LNE bearing and new clutch in at 50k (just 3k ago). I completely appreciate the new sewn-in rear window from the PO as well. That was the only thing about the older ones I did not like...I guess having a new window gives me a few years to not think about it
Like an earlier poster mentioned, I am still in the honeymoon phase, but I have been through much tough love back in the 914 days. And those were pretty ugly compared to the beauty of the Box. Try continuing to love a 914 after you drop a valve and destroy a rare 2.0 head on a casual drive. It only gets easier from that....
