I recently purchased this "gem" as a donor car for my 74 2.0 project. I need to part this out very quickly as my wife wants her garage space back ASAP!! Special consideration given to someone who can take the whole tub less parts I need for my project teener below.

Parting out a very rusty 74 1.8. Parts already spoken for (by me) are the windshield, windshield trim, front bumper, trans, cowl area metal and possibly metal at passenger side fender where it meets the cowl, some metal around the front trunk and headlight bucket areas, steel sport wheels, possibly the doors, etc.

This car does have a really good drivers side quarter panel and front fender and passenger side rear quarter panel but with some damage at the bottom rear where the tire hit the quarter panel due to failed suspension console.

LMK what you may need.

What does it have engine wise? Original FI?

Posted by: FlacaProductions Jan 23 2023, 11:20 AM

Too bad that plate frame is broken - gotta be pretty rare?

Posted by: 914rrr Jan 23 2023, 01:31 PM

Appears to have the OG 1.8 engine and FI intact, but very weathered and buried in critter nests. Also appears that it may have had a minor fire as part of the rain tray is melted. I'll LYK what I unearth.

Posted by: 914rrr Jan 23 2023, 01:34 PM

I was thinking the same thing. It might be fixable. IIRC, there's a way to braze pot metal (?)

I could use a chunk

Posted by: Van B Jan 23 2023, 08:53 PM

That would be great! There are some parts I’d like to get that should be relatively immune to small brush fires lol!

I may have a local buyer for the whole-ish shell. We might be able to work something out. Curious, were you planning on shipping that part or picking it up?

PM sent re: sway bars. Let me know if that car has them .

Posted by: partwerks Jan 24 2023, 07:24 PM

Interested in center console, and storage box/center cushion between seats, if it has them?

Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 26 2023, 09:58 PM

What kind of shape is the passenger ft bumper tit in?

Posted by: 914rrr Jan 27 2023, 07:02 AM

IIRC, the passenger side was OK, but I may need it for my own project. I'll check condition and get back with you.

Posted by: 914rrr Jan 27 2023, 07:07 AM

Sorry, nada on both.

I did luck out and get a usable version of both with my project car although the console was shortened for a (really nice) dealer AC unit.

Posted by: lolkema Jan 27 2023, 06:20 PM

Do you have the roof and if so, what condition is it in?

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 7 2023, 04:16 PM

Roof is OK... both pieces, LOL!! I've literally never seen a broken top, but this one has one. Perhaps a tree fell on it?

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 7 2023, 04:55 PM

Engine is a 1.8, has original FI. Someone local has dibs on the engine and FI, although after "unearthing" the engine (almost a 5 gal bucket of critter stuff, root balls, etc.) there isn't a whole lot salvageable, at least on the top side

Part of the alloy fan housing literally dissolved.

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 7 2023, 04:58 PM

"Before" shot...

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 8 2023, 06:34 AM

My apologies to everyone who inquired about parts for my slow responses. Been delayed with OOT family issues / LTC discussions for my dad. I'll hopefully check it all out in the next week or so , finally removed the engine and trans from the donor car which was my top priority.

Posted by: Van B Feb 8 2023, 06:47 PM

Well, I was hoping the intake runners, and throttle body might be usable, but I dunno man…. Very sad to see what happened there.

It does look like some of the Plastic NLA parts might clean up well though!

Posted by: mepstein Feb 8 2023, 08:22 PM

The fan housing is magnesium. Mag can dissolve quickly in the right conditions.

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 8 2023, 09:42 PM

Resurrecting a survivor LE and I need a lot of various items. Please let me know what you have.

Speaker covers
Steering rack cover plate
Bumper tits
Left side horn
Sail trim (back side pieces)
Ft. turn signal lens
Driving light grilles
License plate bracket

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=874 Hope you’re getting your family concerns resolved. Any word on the list I sent? Thanks.

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 10 2023, 09:49 AM

Family concerns are a "work in progress", thanks for asking. Trying to get dad and mom to accept their limitations and the inevitability of LTC help in home and/or elsewhere.

Most of the stuff on your list from this rusty 74 could be classified as "barely usable / better than nothing".
I'll check on the license plate bracket and the horn.
I have the speaker covers but the drivers side has some cracked slats that are still in place (re-glue-able?) and the passenger side cover has a cracked bottom tab. Both never had speakers in them if that makes any difference as this was a "radio delete" car.
I do have the radio delete plate and vinyl.
Steering rack cover is toast / rusted through.
Sail trim is there but I need to see if it's better than what's on my resto 74.

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 10 2023, 08:44 PM

When you have a chance a few pics would help. I’m resurrecting a survivor ‘74 so perfect is not a requirement. Some patina is ok.

Posted by: frostyf Feb 11 2023, 01:36 PM

LMK what you need

Hi there, I'm looking for some late model (73 on) passenger door glass unchipped. It's the main glass that winds up and down.

There are two styles and I think mine is the Clear which should be labelled DELODUR - 1.

Wondered if yr pass side door glass might match??

Thanks Nick

Ill check next week and LYK.

Posted by: 914rrr Feb 13 2023, 07:09 PM

My apologies to whoever PM'd me about radio mounting bits. I accidently deleted your PM.
In answer to your question, the rusty parts car didn't have a radio, so no radio mounting bits (or corresponding antennae hole in the drivers side front fender). I do have a radio delete plate and vinyl covering from that car if you or anybody else is interested.
