Some of you have expressed interest in helping with the http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=102807 by donating parts so here's your chance to help us out!


The Limo project is split into two phases, Phase one is to get her mechanically in good working order and roadworthy. Phase two is to make her look pretty.

Right now we're still lacking some of the basics to make this a running car, so if you have any of the parts listed below collecting dust in your garage, feel free to send them our way.

All contributors will be officially acknowledged and will also receive steep discounts on future limo rentals!

I've got a fuel tank for the cause. How soon do you need it? Maybe if there's someone heading to the Bay Area from the NW they could transport.

Cool project.

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 7 2010, 11:43 PM

Ok, I'm traveling to Half Moon Bay soon. I would say within 30-45 days to pick up Sandy's new 914. I have two seats, maybe a back pad, center tray with pad and maybe both doors if they turn out to be ok rust wise. I can deliver these. I had already planned on visiting Marks shop on my way home. I'll check the parts tomorrow and post photos.

It is likely that you will find parts locally before I get out there though. So, lets see how it goes.

I'll gladly rebuild the gear box if you get it to me before I go away

Posted by: Carrera916 Feb 8 2010, 12:29 AM

Been watching this project for a while....

I have a tired 1.7L sitting at my shop floor and will ask the owner if he wants to toss it over to me after installing the 2.0L in his car.... I should know probably at the end of this month...

Will that be okay to wait till then? Or you need it ASAP?

I think I have the two doors Hope green will work.....

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 8 2010, 07:14 AM

Your dry Cali doors trump my snow covered MN doors any day.

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 16 2010, 08:17 PM

This thread was all the way back on pg 5. Are you finished with the build yet?

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 16 2010, 09:13 PM

Andy, Let us know how your doing with parts collection. I leave for Half Moon Bay March 9th arriving around the 10-11th If you haven't located good Cal parts I can drag out my MN stuff then.

Heeltoe914 has doors So I will leave mine here. I have a set of seats that need reupholstry and good center pad and ok (I think.. ) back pad.

Oh! BTW: Paul (lotus_65) is half owner of these parts. So these are coming from both of us.

Posted by: SirAndy Feb 16 2010, 09:19 PM

Sorry guys, i've ben busy with other projects.

We'll be back working on the Limo this weekend and i'll have time to discuss things with McMark in detail ...
Andy

I have the backpad out of my car. I was going to save it in case I ever wanted it, but what the hell, you guys need it more than I do!

Let me know where to ship it.

Posted by: d914 Feb 17 2010, 09:08 AM

I pulled the wire harness out of my car, pretty carefully..decided to replace the whole thing vs cutting it up,,, "74....

Posted by: PanelBilly Feb 17 2010, 09:23 AM

I have a winshield to targa seal that would work for a mock up. I but worn and torn, but all there.. Do we have an address for shipping?

Posted by: SirAndy Feb 17 2010, 11:44 AM

Posted by: SirAndy Feb 23 2010, 11:39 AM

Yes, we need a windshield as well ...

Guys, sorry if i haven't gotten back to you yet. I've been pretty busy lately.

Posted by: SirAndy Feb 27 2010, 09:10 PM

Mark and i compiled a more complete list of things still needed. He'll post it here later ...

Andy

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 27 2010, 09:39 PM

Can't imagine I have anything worthwhile on the ruster but hey, I leave the 9th for the gold coast!

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 27 2010, 10:59 PM

Man, I wish I had a spare 2.7/6 to build for this. Anyone have parts??? 2.7 parts seem to be prevalent and I bet we can assemble something if everyone pitched in

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 2 2010, 11:43 AM

Hey Mark, wake up!

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 2 2010, 12:25 PM

I still need to get the backpad down from the attic. What is my deadline?

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 2 2010, 12:31 PM

Some time before WCR ... Not sure we'll make it by then, still lots of work todo ...
Andy

Posted by: rick 918-S Mar 2 2010, 01:33 PM

You need a punch list and a crew every weekend. You need a forman to point out tasks and watch over the work as it prorgesses. Remember, there are 24 hours in a day and 5 guys can get a weeks worth of work done in a day.

Yes, stock tray and pad for now ...

Andy

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 2 2010, 02:01 PM

I updated the first post with the new list and shipping address ...

Andy

Posted by: Shade Tree Mar 2 2010, 02:09 PM

Hey, I'll donate.... I have several very nice sets of seat rails. If you want a set, let me know. I can send pics and you can choose the set??

Posted by: rick 918-S Mar 3 2010, 07:29 PM

Posted by: Racer Chris Mar 3 2010, 08:21 PM

I searched McMaster's website and didn't find any SS fuel lines
If I knew how long they need to be I could make up a set for the Limo.

Posted by: RobW Mar 3 2010, 08:31 PM

Can somebody swing by and pick up some of these parts???

Posted by: McMark Mar 3 2010, 08:56 PM

I'll let you know!

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 3 2010, 09:19 PM

Yes!

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 4 2010, 09:26 AM

Before I waste resources shipping this thing, will this work? It ain't perfect. I didn't know if you planned on recovering it or not. Lemme know...

Posted by: Sleepin Mar 4 2010, 09:34 AM

I would delete those pics before Ferg sees them!

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 4 2010, 09:30 PM

Paging Mark or Andy. See post 35.

Posted by: kg6dxn Mar 4 2010, 10:01 PM

I've got some metric brake lines to donate. 10mm nuts, line, couplings, all new stuff.

Posted by: Krieger914 Mar 5 2010, 07:12 PM

I have the center pad, but no tray. Do you need any interior pieces like the black parts on iside of targa or windshield frame? I have aluminum threshold plates. I will be passing through on thursday.

Posted by: Krieger914 Mar 5 2010, 07:27 PM

And when you say seat rails do you mean the part that bolts to the floor, or the part that bolts to the underside of the seat or both? I have some parts that bolt to the underside of the seat, with good handles.

Posted by: MoveQik Mar 5 2010, 09:26 PM

ah-hem.....

Mark or Andy, see post 37 that directs you to post 35.

Posted by: McMark Mar 5 2010, 10:44 PM

That back pad looks workable to me!

Posted by: RobW Mar 6 2010, 12:09 PM

I have the windshield, a +1 wiring harness (got burnt), the door striker plates, and other related parts...

I just can't make it to Sonoma anytime soon....

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 6 2010, 09:31 PM

Rob, i can probably swing by next weekend and pick up some stuff ...


I'll be back at McMark's shop in Sonoma tomorrow, Sunday 03/04.

If anyone wants to come by and turn some wrenches ...
Andy


PS: Big thanks to Chris for helping out today!

Posted by: ChrisNPDrider Mar 7 2010, 10:33 AM

You're welcome.
I got a lot of practice doing tar removal grunt work, an overdue project I need to do on my 914. If'n you get geared up to patch little holes in the floorpan, I will come by and help more for practice and perhaps we can weld in a few new spots under my passenger seat. Wishful thinking, I know!

After seeing it, my head is swimming with Limo ideas! I'll see what other parts I can dig up to donate. I have some old Alpine 6x9 speakers in boxes from a previous truck....

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 8 2010, 12:04 PM

Speakers eh?

We haven't even thought about accessories yet.

A sound system would be nice ... And AC. And heat. And electric windows.
Andy

Posted by: Headrage Mar 9 2010, 12:48 PM

Mark/Andy,

I have a set of 944 seat belts I'll throw your way. Complete with all the hardware.

I'll try and get them out withing the next week...

Posted by: McMark Mar 9 2010, 01:40 PM

YES!!!

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 13 2010, 06:23 PM

Posted by: bdstone914 Mar 14 2010, 09:51 AM

If you give me an updates parts needed leis I can probably supply most of the small parts. I have tones of replated latches and hardware. Also have the replated striker plates. Also need a shipping address. You probably posted it but I am to lazy to look through the thread to find it. I claim that as a senior citizen right.

Posted by: SirAndy Mar 14 2010, 02:11 PM

The shipping address is in the first post so people wouldn't have to "look through the thread to find it".

Shipping to:
Original Customs
19660 Eighth St. East
Sonoma, CA 95476

As far as little parts and interior stuff goes, half of the limo was a completely stripped shell, so we need at least one of each of everything.

We got a few boxes with parts already, but we really haven't done a complete inventory yet.


So anything small you can spare is most welcome!
Andy

Posted by: McMark Apr 3 2010, 01:21 PM

Stock 914 length + 51" additional.

Posted by: RobW Apr 3 2010, 02:28 PM

Hey Andy, I'm around the house this weekend if you've got time..

Posted by: ClayPerrine Apr 4 2010, 07:43 AM

I think Dr. Evil has a Prius hybrid drivetrain he would donate....

Posted by: Lennies914 Oct 12 2010, 07:32 PM

Hey Guys,

How current is the "parts needed" list?

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 12 2010, 08:55 PM

Good question ...

I'll go over it with McMark and post a updated version in the next couple of days.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Dec 24 2011, 07:13 PM

Will the Limo be ready for the WCR 2012 ?

Posted by: Dr Evil Dec 24 2011, 07:21 PM

New list??? Need a transmission?

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 20 2013, 08:03 PM

I'm going to resurrect this thread since we're in need of a few parts.

Currently needed:

- Passenger side engine shelf replacement
- Rear half of a floor pan

If you have either one of those collecting dust in your garage and you'd like to help out getting the 914world Limo on the road, please let me or McMark know.
