trying to see how long I can go without a 914  Group: Members Posts: 487 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...

I knew this wasnt going to be a walk in the park, but as I plan on installing complete fiberglass front fenders I wasnt planning on dealing with the rust on the front fenders. I knew the longs and the hell hole would need work, but they all do, right?
As far as how much I got it for, lets just say the front fenders will cost more than the car. If you are sneaky you can find some more pics in my photobucket, nothing is locked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

Don't be discouraged by negative talk. That rust is a fraction of what has been restored on this site. One section at a time you could fix it up. Good luck and
