Sure, everyone knows of the /6 owners that have spent all the money, but what about the /4's? I vaguely remember a few folks that have restored 4 cylinder 914's. Have some pics to share? Success/failure stories? I wanted to start a completely new thread for the subject.

I recieved my 73 2.0 for free. Originally the owner said "Take it I don't want it, it hasn't run for 4 years".
I found all the cracked and frayed vacuum lines were handily fixed with electrical tape. And he said it didn't run, should have run like a hot damn. Anyhow, thinking I dont need another project lying around the yard I go by his house to have a look. Coming up the road I see 4 bolt Fuchs. have a closer look, they're real Fuchs. Oooo, a 2.0 perhaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Look under, yup 2.0 with SS exchangers! Ok, swaybars in place? Yes. Console intact? Affirmative. Spare tire with Fuchs This is starting to look attractive. Open the door 2 or 3 inches of water in the car. Hmmm, if the water hasnt leaked out the floors are intact. I took the car home. Took out the interior and started to clean. You can see the high tide mark on the mats. And how clean the windsheild was. ![]() Well there is a little rust in the firewall and some in the longs and battery tray. The car was free after all. That jutifies a liitle rust repair and engine rebuild. The engine rebuild was the easy part.... ![]() ![]() I have a few more.. |
