Hi 914World,
New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
Looking forward to this one! |

QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Jan 19 2017, 01:55 PM)  Decided not to blast it? Zach I'm weighing up the time / money question. As of now I am planning to strip the "flat" surfaces and blast all of the nooks / crannies / areas not easily stripped. Should cut down the amount of time needed to blast and allows me to make some progress in the meantime. The whole bottom of the car will be blasted (then epoxy and color-match upol raptor liner). |
