First time posting here, hopefully I'm in the right section. I have a 1974 2.0 liter sitting around. Do you guys think this car is completely restorable or am I better off making it into a parts car? Any info on what panel I need to buy, to repair the rusted areas, would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance for any comments.
The first two pictures are of the passenger side suspension mounting point. The next three are of the drivers side door area. The picture after that is of the passenger side rot. Last picture is of the battery tray area---seems to be in ok condition. Attached image(s)

A 74 2.0L can be a fantastic 914. Its only original once....someday that car in that condition will be very valuable but you will need the vision. Think of how many 914s have already perished. This 914 can be saved but it take dedication and the right person who has the time/skills/money.

And since nobody has mentioned it yet, check to see if there is any signs of orange paint on your white '74, especially around the rockers and valences.
Unless that is a light blue, in which case i agree, it's a parts car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
