So I find this '70 914 on Craigslist for $700. Says it's only a shell. Has flares and 5 bolt 911 pattern on all 4 wheels. I call, make an appointment for 2 days later. Car looks like it has good bones. I asked "what happened to the engine and trans?" The guy says, "Oh, it runs". So I buy it. It's going to be my DE/track car. That was THREE years ago. So to get the original six off the track, I started to "put" the project together.
I had been collecting parts for a six conversion for about 10 years or so. I have just about everything I need, but, this is a LOT of work and a LOT of $$$ if you add it all up. Wife keeps asking, when is it going to be finished ............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Here are some pics. As seen on Craigslist in Philly in Feb of 2006. FG bumpers did not come with the car, but a 1.7L engine did. 2 years later after I bought the FG hood and trunk and replica Fuchs |

The 911 emergency parking brake has been installed and now ready for the 911 SC rear calipers.
Delivered the 914/6 oil tank to the shop today. The axles are in and once the oil tank is in, we'll be ready to install the engine. Oh yeah, will freshen up the engine compartment a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). |

The 911 emergency parking brake has been installed and now ready for the 911 SC rear calipers. Delivered the 914/6 oil tank to the shop today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Nice and NICE! Both things I need; emergency brakes (I have 911 rear brakes in the stash) and oil tank (group buy should be in shipment). Now I need an engine mounting system, do you believe I'd like a quick 6 mount? I always like the idea. Maybe Rod could reinforce weld it for me. I've signed up for Jun5 Shenandoah and Halloween Summit Point DE's. Hope to see the new car and other 914's this summer; if the "Yellow Bird" is not ready, "Greenie" would like more track time. Where's Carl, Josh, ... ? |
