Hello 914World -
This is Michael, also known as "That naive guy who bought a Porsche 914 project car to bring back to life while documenting the process on YouTube and HotCars.com." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI&t=27s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI I've been lurking here on 914World for about a month since I bought the pile of parts. Happy to find so much knowledge and camaraderie, you've already provided me with optimism and inspiration in spades. As you can see from the video and some of my articles, if you feel inclined to take a look, I clearly need professional help. And I mean both mechanically and psychologically, which is why I'm hoping to rely on the similarly afflicted fans of Porsche's maligned mid-engined masterpiece. All alliteration aside (or not), glad to be here and please stop me if I'm doing something wrong before I hurt myself or others! Thanks |

Good solid core car. Form a strategy based on money then break it down by priority and category (looks, performance, etc)
Send all the calipers to PMB, get in touch with 914 Rubber for all the trim and some of the mechanical bits, the trans to Dr. Evil and consider having the engine work done by European Motorworks. For your first one it's best to have the core mechanicals done by a pro and follow along. Then, after you've seen how they work tackle one on your own. Your biggest engine decision is going to be if you stick with the 4 bolt heads or drop the cash for 3 bolt 2.0 type. You've already got the carbs, so with 3 bolt heads, a decent cam and fresh p/c's you'll have a nice runner. |
