Don't forget to post interior pictures!

Nice looking car with a lot of work put into it. Is the color then Canary Yellow (citronengelb aka lemon yellow) L11E?
Also, when you say a "massaged" 2.0 liter, do you mean rebuilt to stock 2.0 Liter spec's or something more? I am interested. Just want to know a bit more....'
Thanks

I'm trying to find the receipt for the short block who was done by a fella named Tuttle. Apparently, he is a air cooled guru who is well known for his Type IV head work. Once found I put in all the particulars beyond new bearings, pistons, cylinders, machine work etc.... especially as it relates to the heads. If I recall correctly he likes the 1.7 head to work his magic....
Happy Post Thanksgiving and now for SC ND game...........

41mm Intake valves
34mm Exhaust valves
2.0 liter crank & rods
2.0 liter pistons & cylinder with heads opened up to accept the jugs - case left alone
cam reground to work with Weber Carbs

re-installed a couple of trunk compartment pieces....
Inspection set up tomorrow for a potential European buyer and overall a lot of interest in the car - Thanks 914world / Pelican
I thought I share - while putting together the paper work - I've assembled over $11K in receipts .............parts etc.......
NO LABOR CHARGES whatsoever...........
It seems that the more time I've invested in this, toward getting it where it is ..... the more $$$ lost based on the asking price...........
For all those considering an undertaking such as this..... bringing an old car back to life........
it might be a more prudent move to look for a situation such as this.... where someone has already gotten a car to this point, because trying to do it yourself based on my experience is losing proposition....... outside of my love for old Porsche cars.
I shouldn't have dug up all those receipts.........SIGH
