We had the opportunity to buy this fairly original '71 914 recently. The car is fuel injected, complete and everything works, right down to the light between the seats and the bell when you open the door. The car is almost completely rust-free. We are looking forward to taking it back to original color (Gemini Blue) and doing the restoration.
We are hoping to finish it Attached image(s)

I had a chance to buy a very clean '72 to use as a driver while I work on the restoration of the blue '71. So, haven't gotten much done on this car lately. The car is at Scotty's having some minor rust repair done. We have reset our expectations and are planning for this restoration to take a few years.
In the meantime, the build thread for the silver '72 is here - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=0#entry2123904 |
