Hi 914World,

New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
  • "Rust Free" car with the only rust being on the surface of cleaned metal
  • Hell-hole looks very clean
  • All original glass, bumpers, interior, suspension, rims, etc. are included
  • 901 "side shift" transmission has been taken apart, inspected, and rebuilt
  • Lowered hard mounts for drivetrain
  • There are some spares included as well (doors, top, misc. / etc.)
The engine is the gem of this purchase in my opinion. Here are the details:

2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
  • All balanced / clearance as necessary by H&H in Dallas
  • 96mm Pistons / Cylinders
  • 9.0:1 compression ratio
  • 3-angle valve job on 2.0 Heads
  • Iskenderian Cams #485128 Grind #VP-228
  • Claude's Buggies' Lightened Lifters
  • Lightened Flywheel
  • Custom High RPM Cooling Fan
  • Rotating assembly has been coated with polymer or ceramic coatings by Polymer Dynamics in Houston
I've put down a deposit to hold and will be picking up on Monday. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. Plans are for a mostly stock rebuild with an attempt to retain as much value as possible.

Looking forward to this one!

Will have to confirm, but that is what I believe I was told. Will get more information from seller when I pick up and likely reach out to Wes' shop as well.

Not sure I'm wanting to tackle the assembly myself yet.

H&H is still open, in case you have heard different. I am Wes' son Jay. Feel free to give me a call. Since I have taken over, we have modernized a bit. Dad hated computers and water pumpers. But I have changed all that. We still, and always will, specialize in air-cooled Porsche's, I just needed to bring us into the 21st century. Check out the webpage www.hhautoenterprises.com

Phone number is still the same. 972-423-8526

Thanks,

Jay

Jay - thanks for reaching out. Good to hear you are still up and running. I will give you a shout once I have picked up the car and taken inventory of everything / know what direction I am heading in.

Will see what I can find out on the fan. No big update, but another pic from the seller. Going to pick her up tomorrow after work!

I'd look closely at the hell hole again. Maybe it's just surface rust, but there are appears to be a bit more than that.

It will be a bit of work but when done it will be the best handling little car you have ever driven. Good luck with it and keep us posted of your progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
