This friday i will be buying my first 914, it has flares and a 916 front end on it. I can't wait to get it, however the guy is giving me a ton a parts with the car. Do you guys think i should sell the parts and put the money towards the porsche or just keep the parts? The guy parted out a 75 914 and that is where all the parts are coming from. The car is complete from what it looks like from the pictures he sent me so i don't think i will need the parts.
Here are some pictures of the car i am buying http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP02991.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03001.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03011.jpg http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj2/ahe...t=IMGP03021.jpg Here is a list of what he is giving me A set of doors with glass and panels from a 75 Four stock fenders Two extra Targa Tops A side shifter trans with starter, linkage, and all mounts Engine Lid Rear Deck Lid Two sets of rims Both Headlight assemblies Most of the interior swtiches and console with gauges from a 75 |

QUOTE The car is complete from what it looks like from the pictures he sent me so i don't think i will need the parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) How many a new 914 owner has said this. BTW, the car does look great. QUOTE i have no idea what these parts will sell for Neither do I most of the time. Just search the classifieds forums here and maybe some of the other boards to find out a fair price for your parts. That should give you all the info you need (hint, restrict your search to the specific classified forum.) QUOTE syes. sell the '75 stuff and put it towards the new car ... Andy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You will certainly have to start purchasing things soon (either by choice or necessity) but the part that fails is never the same part that is lying around the garage. Sell everything but the transmission and put that money toward your future projects. I would also start rebuilding the spare transmission now, then put it in your car and sell your old transmission that is known to be good. IMHO Congrats on the new ride (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I will post some pictures Friday of the parts and some more pictures of the car itself. The owner says the only issue with the car is the brakes need to be bled and the jack plates may need to be replaced. It does drive and stop but rebleeding the brakes will help. I have bled the brakes on my VW Baja Bug, is a 914 any different? It was pretty simple with the vw. I am so excited to get the car because my collection of two cars will be awesome, both are german, flat four engine, and built in the same year. Thanks again everybody!
r_towle the Baja bug is a father and son project. My dad and I have a lot of fun working on the car together and keep making it better, however it is nowhere near done. The pictures on photobucket don't show what the car looks like right now, the whole roll cage is in the car and it is in primer. |
