Just got a call from the trucker and my piece of crap 500 buck 914 from New Mexico will be here in about an hour. I can hardly wait to see how bad it really is/isn't. I'll try to post some pics as soon I can get some. I can't believe I'm actually excited about this thing arriving, but if it's not too bad I'll be driving a 914 soon...Yeah!!

Here's the evil-bay pic that suckered me in for 500 bucks....... Attached image(s)

Once welded, it would shift and I fired it up and blasted around the neighborhood for a while. It seems to run pretty good. The clutch was sucking ass and was very touchy......so I jacked it up and went to adjust the cable and found a giant stck of spacers on the end of the cable. Hmmm....sounds like broken clutch tube?? So I checked the firewall and sure enough. vice grips got me another quick drive. The brakes seem good and the motor feels strong.
The interior is way shot....dash cracks, no door panels, torn seats, you name it, but who cares! it drives!! RUST..........it's actually pretty damned rust free. It has a small hole just under the rear of the battery tray. Not quite a full "hell hole" but needs fixing. PO put some sort of patch plate under battery. It's not attached in any way, just sitting under the bat. I can't find any other rust. The trunks are clean, floors are clean and firwall is great except for clutch tube. The rockers are clean, jack posts, etc...all good...Yeah! Here's a pic of the battery area........ Attached File(s) |
