Ok, i am getting ready to start the resto on a 74 2.0ltr. The car has been stored for 16 years and parts ( engine and interior ) stored under a house in cardboard boxes on the ground (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
As you can imagine the parts now have a lovly coating of rust and the interior is shot, SO questions ;
- the engine will be rebuilt with carbs , so do i still need a ecu and what do i do with the injection system chuck it / any parts worth anything?
- With the interior and seats do i (a) look for a mint set out of another car and import everything or ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) buy the recover items and pay for the trim guy to recover everything?
- what changes to the wiring harness is required when changing to carbs?

I'll give you some back ground , the car has been stored for 16 years , and the engine is all stripped prior to the last owner storing under the house on the ground (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) so we are starting from scratch on the engine . I am basically taking the block and buying all new parts and building something interesting.
The past two owner , with all good intentions , brought alot of new parts inc carbs , linkages , etc... so i will use the carb set up .
The fuel injection system is in parts and as there is only 5 914's in new zealand i would have to ship the stuff overseas to sell it , which kills any value.

andy thanks for the electrical detail, i love NOT having to use early ecu's, it's a pity that pmo don't do 4 cylinder set up's.

If you would like to see exaclty were the car is at as far as work needed , check out our group's website below and look under restorations
