I need help from fellow 914 guys. My wife doesn't understand the "need".
there is a 73 2.0 for sale here at a shop about 20 min from my house. the owner said it is on conighnment for a customer who took it for back due rent. He said it was running two months ago and the owner brought it back because he could not get it to start again after letting it sit. I did stop over and look at it. it seems pretty solid, but who knows under the rockers. the cable for the engine lid broke and he could not get it to open, it is 15 degrees here right now. front trunk looks solid looking under the car not much oil to speak of. i did reach up under the hell hole area and there was rust there how bad I could not see enough to be sure. Drivers seat is a little wobbly pulled up the carpet and it looked solid besides behind the drivers seat in the corner rust, rust, rust. here are some pictures of it from the Craigslist site. it currently is not running and i would have to have it towed to my house for around $75. I have a 74 converting to a 2.7 on a extrem budget now that i have been layed off from work. thanks for any input you can give. By the way he has a guy coming down from Michigan tomorrow to buy it sight unseen. but said who ever shows up with the money first Attached image(s)

If You snapped up every obtainable "deal" you will burn yourself $$$ the *&#@! out! The main thing is to stay focused on one project even though it seems to take on it's own life and direction;... you have try to maintain an order to the process.. A method to the madness. The last thing your need is another open nevr ending sore. Finish your car then later as gets when your done if that is even possible ....but you will know when the car will tell you. It is like SCREWING A GORILLA .. YOUR DONE WHNE THE GORILLA SAYS YOUR DONE.. then you can fitz with parts cars by then you will know a plan of what to do with another 914. Try not to purchase blindly with no immeadiate idea of what you even going to be able or want to do with it.. Joe |
