Pulled the freshly rebuilt 2056 out of the demon car today. Took about 2.5hrs and only f'd up the ground strap (DOH, I forgot that lil bugger). Next on the docket is breaking it down so I can drag it inside. Once inside I'll disassemble the top end & find out what was causing all that damn white smoke (broken ring?).
I have the old 1.7L which will get reinstalled so as to make it possible to move the car around on it's own power (novel concept).
Here's your dose of 914 porn:
I think if you buy a lift or 3 you can get a couple more teeners in there
nice collection
i take it the lake isn't frozen. there is a *lake snow event* in your future. count on it. nice folding chair storage.

damn dude...i didn't realize you had THAT many 914s....
go upstate new york go! I miss home now......
Is this in Buffalo? Too bad you weren't there last Friday when I stopped in to see Dave Eddy, and his mechanic (Nate). I had a lot of goodies for show and tell. There is still time for a Niagara area get-together this winter.
Wow!
I lived in Buffalo for ten plus years and I NEVER saw so many 914s in one place! The few 914s that I did see in Buffalo looked exactly like those though.
If you want another one for your collection/sickness I've got a stripped down 74 2.0 and a barn full of parts that I know my mother would be thrilled to have removed from her place in Clarence. Think about it...
I don't know, $700?
It's a solid rolling chasis with a brown interior. I have pictures if wanted, I have to figure out how to post them (or I could email them) I got it as a project car in my college daze and the sickness set in real fast.
Once it's on jack stands why stop? I stripped everything down and put it all in individual boxes. That was the extent of my skill and cash flow. The engine is stripped down still waiting for that rebuild, but the transmission is completely intact and untouched.
I moved to Portland, OR this past year and bought a mint silver 74 2.0 with 40,000 original miles on it. I'm all about projects, but having a car sitting in a barn 2,300 miles away seems a bit excessive.
If I knew then what I know now...
Sorry for the hijack!
I would love to take on another project but there's even a 4th 914 that didn't make the picture... It's going to grow up strong - got flares & will be shopping for a six over the winter...
Davep - Dave Eddy stopped over last week but I was out of town when you were in... Another time...

You still looking for some fenders?

Cool, thanks for the pick of your baby. I just picked up a set of steel flares a couple weeks ago. They'll go over the fenders I put on. Not certain yet how to do it all yet but I'll figure it out. Thinking about buying a welder and learning myself.
what's up all. Luke, what town are you from....I am a fairport man myself.
Was just there for a bunch of days. pretty rainy and cold so I didn't do much tinkering. Took the ghia out for one quick freezing spin on wednesday just to keep it running. great xmas overall though

Luke -
Can you believe the indian summer we're having? I thought for sure the green car (needs fenders) would be buried under snow by now.
I'm free next week, maybe I could scoot over to your neck of the woods one eve? I'm free any night.
Thanks for posting the pics. I only need the rears.
-pt
Hey, Pt
Yup I'm loving this weather. I'll be around in the pm starting on Thursday .
Pm me your phone # and I'll give you a call on Thursday after noon.
Did you need the rear panel also?
Luke
i spoke with my cousin who lives in east aurora. wind chill @ -20*. i bet that 50* is just a pleasant memory right about now.
k
aye. boston is frigid right now but at least we have a ski season again. That's all I really care about at the moment.
you don't have any mountains anyways do ya?
killington has a lot of snow from what i've heard. I'm headed to sunday river for the weekend, hanging out in portland. Great little city.
That is a negative . . . we have little hills . . . but no one snows them
