Heres the OG post, with a little less neanderthal script. Much easier to read and you can now see the value of the car.

Any pics yet?

What do you use for emergency/Parking brake for rear?

Still hard to understand this. Was the car running when you started this before you put all the parts on. And there are things missing like Torsion shafts up front. Steering Bellows. Do you have all these parts?

Why is the rear trunk cut out a little? If you make this easier to understand you may get a sale from someone here. Water cooling set up?

So I guess $10,000 all in $8,000 with a stock 914 Eng? What would that be or $8,000 no eng.?

Posted by: ablesnead Jun 8 2018, 02:47 PM

coil overs in front...was complete running street car when i started...car is now a track car project..trunk cut out is to facilitate track side access....water cooled car ..water lines run inside longs..will sell for 8000.00 with stock 13b rotary , that should be rebuilt as desired

Posted by: burton73 Jun 8 2018, 07:40 PM

Looking at it as a water-cooled project. If I did it I would want the full car.

Questions on what is used for a parking break. I am too fat for this car. Lots of holes for weight savings. Good or bad?

I have tilton bias adjuster nib for the car and also hydralic clutch kit nib .bump

Posted by: a9146luvr Jun 21 2018, 11:17 PM

Where is the car/parts located, and I assume the "220 hp" powerplant is a Mazda 13b rotary engine? I assume also all the parts that made it a working/driving 914 prior to teardown are included (ie, radiator, oil cooler, eng mount etc), right?
