Default my new daily driver!

I got this car last year when my grandpa gave it to me shortly before he passed away. I wasn't able to do any work on it over the winter or early spring so it wasnt in any condition to drive. I've been spending many a summer day and night working on it to get it back in shape for the road and it has been well worth it!

Its a 1972 Porsche 914, in fantastic condition with just about 50k miles on it. Its my new mid-engined baby. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Let me know if you wanna know more! Here is a video that I made of it
