Progress thread 74 2.0 to 3.0 6, Time to assemble Options

[Luke M]

I figured why not start this thread. The car is a 74 914 2.0 that's been sitting since the early 90's. It was parked outside/in the woods up until my brother purchased it last fall. It didn't look too bad from 20 feet away but when you look closer it gets pretty bad. So, here's the plan... strip the car, fix the rust problems, paint it, add a 5 lug suspension, and convert it to a 3.0 6. Stay tuned for pics of the progress..

Well after weeks of cleaning and prepping we finally got my brothers 914 in epoxy, seam sealed and into paint. The whole underside, inner fenders, engine bay, interior, and both trunks are body color. The exterior needs to be finished yet. We still need to do a final sand and clean to the body. Once that's done my brother will have a buddy of his that does paint work finish the exterior. We got the suspension installed along with the steering column. Still waiting on several brake parts to arrive then will get the brakes all plumbed and bled before she heads out of my garage. Meantime we will install a few other items. Stay tuned.
