914World.com _ FS/WANTED: 914 Cars and Rollers _ WTB Early Front Clip

Posted by: zoomCat Feb 21 2021, 01:21 PM

I'm looking for an early (70-72) front clip that can be shipped to Cincinnati. All I really need is the sheet metal but I'n willing to take whatever is bolted to it if that is necessary. I'll be using it from just forward of the shift leaver.
I've posted this before a couple of times, but nothing has panned out so far. Thanks to all who've contacted me with leads; so far they all have had issues or folks haven't been able to follow up with documentation.

Whole cars could be considered, but I hate to cut up something for just the front.

What I've got has some rust in odd places, and some badly repaired crash damage from many years ago; I'm looking for something pretty straight and solid to make it worth the effort. We'd like to find something that won't require a bunch of hours of repair before we can use it.

I'm not in a position to come and fetch it, so we'll have to arrange shipping.

Here's the intended recipient:

Have you spoken with this guy? Looks like he's willing to cut what you need.

Unfortunately the rusted floorboards and bent driver's side door hinge pillar and part of what I need. The recipient had brake fluid spilled back in the previous century, so the are below the reservoir and pedal cluster have been compromised, and the existing driver's side fender had been 'repaired' at some time and both the fender and the mounting sheetmetal on the tub need replaced.

As always, when we started digging into it we kept find more issues.

Thanks for the lead, though.

Hi zoomCat~
This 1970 donor has some rust holes under the fuel tank and in the rubber gutter under the frunk hood. It looks in better shape than your car, but it will need a few patches.
PM me if interested and want more photos.
Thank you
