First post on the forum for me. I'm thinking of jumping into the 914 deep end. I have found a car that is relatively rust free but is going to need quite a bit of TLC. I'm thinking of doing a full rebuild. The car doesn't have an engine, will it be difficult to find one? I don't mind doing a rebuild if I have to. By the way, I am looking at a 74 914/2.0. Thanks in advance.
Jim
Welcome.....depends on your final objective...stock, near stock or screw it....let's play.....
Welcome to the board!
Please save a 914.
Now on to your question... it really depends on what you mean by
It has been in Arizona so there isn't a lot of rust. I read the FAQ section at Pelican Parts so I haven't had a chance to look at the car after reading the rust areas. I will check it again after reading. I also ordered his book on buying a 941.
For the engine, I would like to get a 2.0 liter or perhaps play with going up to a six. Are engines available?
Thanks,
Jim
Forgot to reply on that... yeah, sure. Engines and trannys are fairly easy to come by.
i wish i had got the good advice you are getting
i bought a car not know what i was getting into .
spend alot of time and money
when i should have bought a $5000 car to start with .
just my thinking now?
Jim,
welcome to the club! We've got a good contingent of folks from Colorado. I think most of them are up nearer to I-70, but you aren't that far away. I love your part of the state. I was looking at property in Texas Creek a couple years ago
Welcome to the Club Jim! Drop me an email and we'll get you on the local list. We can hook you up with parts.
