I wrecked my first 914 after about a month of owning it. Here is my Second Chance. (Title fits with second chance to life as well
I bought this car for $500 in sequim WA. After towing, food, title, parts (mostly off of my wrecked car), I have about $1000 into it. Things Done: - Prepped and painted hood and fender (bondo on fender...it was a mess) - Troubleshoot f.i., ended up being cold start sensor and fuses! - Replace drivers seat hinges, as well as seats and interior from other car - Fix Shifter: Bushings, roll pin. - Go through electrical fuses and put together/fix left side. - Change wheels from wrecked parts car. - Misc. maint... - Put the whole thing back together...we had pics of what kind of wreck it was in when I bought it...unfortunately the pics got deleted accidentally. Thankyou all for your help!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I couldn't have done it without this site. I wouldn't have even attempted it without this site. You have put another 914 back on the road and blessed me with the little car. Thankyou Here are some pics...forgive the bike...that's another piece of pride I put together... Attached image(s)

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Sep 17 2004, 08:41 AM) was that car from the classifieds, asking price $1k? it had been sitting for sometime and the guy that posted it was doing it for his brother? i called and got no reply. how was the rust? kevin It may have been the same car?? I don't know if it was in the classifieds...but his brother is on this site (forgot who?). The car sat in a garage for five years. He said his son drove it in the garage, took it apart and there it sat for five years. It has rust...but structurally is okay, or so I believe. There are some areas that does need patched. But for now it suits my college purposes perfectly. I got some extra weltmeister springs...I don't know what the rates are for them though? This car is a lot tighter than my other. Less body roll through corners, steering responsive. Plans for the future: - Fender wells stretched out (the smooth look) - Wheels and tires 9" rear 7" front - LS1 (with power adder)engine - ZF transaxle (?) - Dark Blue paint maybe with a signal orange stripe. - Interior matching paint. |
