914World.com _ 914World Garage _ My first 914
Posted by: Yasha7fold Oct 17 2018, 09:38 PM
Well I finally got my first 914. It's a 1973 black on black 1.7l. Just got it unloaded and safely in the shop. I'll give it a go this weekend and see if I can get it running. Even if I do it'll be going under the knife for an engine rebuild.

Open the wallet and let the fun begin.

Mostly a stock rebuild. Not sure which way to go with the engine yet. Maybe turn the 1700 into an 1800 or big bore.

Yah it needs some love for sure. Front window is cracked. So I’ll have to find a replacement.

One of our member vendors, Pro Source, sells the glass.

Welcome to the World of everything 914.... 
Quick note for the future....Don’t haul a 914 backwards, the rear window has a tendency to get pushed in to your interior...

Hey, if you order a windshield, let me know. I looked into a Sekurit from Pro Source but the shipping was the killer. Maybe if we split the shipping, it will make it affordable. Maybe @DrTim needs a windshield too...
I think the quote I got from a local shop was ~$300 for Chinese XYG glass shipped. That wasn't too bad, but nice to have options. I'm also reluctant to spend too much on a windshield for a car driven around here. You know what I'm talking about. If your windshield ain't cracked, you aren't from Montana!

Sure man. It'll be a bit before I'm at the point of a new windshield. Not sure how soon you want to get one ordered. I'm going to go to a couple of the local shops to see about costs. What part of Montana are you in ?

It will be summer at the earliest before I'm ready to install glass. I'm over in Bozemania .
