They have been a car I previously didn’t care for but they have grown on me and I want to know more about them. How are they to own/maintain, are they expensive to own and are there any good forums for them? These three examples from [Patrick Motorsports](http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/project/23) are fucking hot! They also have quite a few other hot cars to their credit. ![http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/10-20-08-035.jpg](http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/10-20-08-035.jpg) ![http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/914-Full-Race-Iso-101K.jpg](http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/914-Full-Race-Iso-101K.jpg) ![http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/22544.jpg](http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/img/projects/22544.jpg) ---

Rust is the biggest issue - battery box - floor pan, etc. 914-6 ftw - 911 motor, brakes, flared fenders. Keep in mind 914s didn’t even carry the Porsche badge in Germany they were VW.:mamoru: ---
