I purchased my 72 914 from the owner of a body shop back in February of 2016. This is what it looked like when I paid for it:

Prior to my purchase, owner had already acquired factory AC parts and started to install fiberglass body kit including fender flares. I opted to pay owner to finish the body and paint work prior to delivery. |

Been a while since I had time to work on the 72 so I figured I would update the build thread.
Over the holidays, I rebuilt the motor, got it running, and put it back in the car. Couple videos: Test running engine before install Running engine after install Moved on to the brakes and had to replace the master cylinder as well as the front brake lines. Was able to use a Rock Auto master cylinder but had to reuse my brake light switch. Moved on to the inside of the car and replaced the gas pedal. That was a nighmare. Had to drill out the 2 bolts that held it down and redrill holes. But pedal works good. Now I'm on to electrical. Need to get the gauges working. |
