trying to see how long I can go without a 914  Group: Members Posts: 499 Joined: 14-November 13 From: Westchester (Los Angeles) Member No.: 16,644 Region Association: Southern California  |
Some of you may have seen the few threads Ive been posting about picking up the 74 roller from Noel (ndfrigi). We've come to an agreement and tomorrow I will be making it official!
Here are some pics I took when I went and saw the car a few weeks ago. He purchased it and removed the interior and some other parts. I will be getting it as a rolling chassis, which is exactly what I was looking for. This is where it currently sits. The other 914 in the background is his. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400844.1.jpeg) These pics show all the bad stuff. I believe the car sat for a while outside, but since this is SoCal, it shouldnt be too much work to fix the rust. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400844.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400845.3.jpg) I plan on adding some GT style front fenders to match the rears, not sure about metal or fiberglass yet. We'll see... These are the best pics I could get of the battery tray and hell hole, overall it doesnt look too intimidating, but we'll see how bad it is once the engine is out of the way (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400845.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400845.5.jpg) Heres the pics of the longs, couldnt get a better pic of the pass side since there was another car right next to it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400845.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.7.jpg) and this is the rest of the bad stuff... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.9.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.10.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.11.jpg) and heres the pic of the "interior" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.12.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1387400846.13.jpg) |

Sorry to come across so hard.
The reality is that your car will be a major project. It's better to have a clear view of what you are getting into. If you can do most of the bodywork yourself you will be much further ahead. Mechanical work is cheap....bodywork is where the money will be spent. Check out the thread on my green car detailing the work scotty b performed. You should always start out with the best car you can. |
