Today was a good day to start. Got help from my son and his buddy which really moved things along. Seats, carpet, trim, bumpers, valances, and AC unit have all been removed, labelled and carefully cataloged and stored away. We found the battery tray rusted away as well as a hole on the adjacent fender. Both will be an easy fix. Otherwise the body is in very good condition with no other rust. Picked up some used tires which we put on the alloy wheels. I believe they are Empi's as I had a set on my VW Variant years ago.
I will post additional pictures once I figure out how to re-size them. Attached thumbnail(s)

The wheels on your car now are called Westerns. Even cooler than EMPIs. Nice save. That will turn out to be a very nice car.

QUOTE(Chris H. @ Aug 4 2013, 08:08 AM)  The wheels on your car now are called Westerns. Even cooler than EMPIs. Nice save. That will turn out to be a very nice car. I don't know if Empi made copies, but Dan Gurney and Western Wheel are the most prevalent copies of that style wheel. The original design was from Jack McAfee. My first 914 had them too. I also have a set of 5-luggers for one of my 912s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)I also recommend European Motoworks in Hawthorne, CA. George and Javier are good guys. They are actually the source for many other VW parts houses including KB pistons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
