### EDIT - for the purposes of not filling this forum with multiple posts about the same car, I'm going to continue the recomissioning of this car in this thread. Details begin on page two. ###

Checking in as the new owner of a 1971 914.

Dragged out of the desert yesterday. Basically a shell, a steering rack, one wheel and a title.

Appears to be in decent shape. Probably needs a floor (rust penetration), definitely needs a front pan (cut up, no idea why) and some repair to the hellhole (small rust hole, but unsure what lies beneath). Rockers, doors and rear trunk appear to be very nice. There is light crash damage to the front left which has been hammered-out. I can't find bondo on it anywhere.

Kind of hesitant to post this as I've always wanted a 914, but unsure if this is the one. Long-time Porsche fan - owned a '72 911T when I was in my mid-20s, and now have a twin-plugged 912 which I restored (from a shell which wasn't a whole lot nicer than this).

Anyway, I have a rough idea of what I want to do with it. In the time being, I need to start hunting down some parts. Lots of parts.

Then I needed to shape the billet blocks to allow clearance for the injectors. My friend Jim did the cutting on his mill.

After that, I had to do a little additional shaping for various engine components that were in the way.

I seated everything with Blue Hylomar, because the Triumph intake boots are kinda old and I'm a pessimist when it comes to intake leaks.

Here's how they fit. Not the most beautiful job, but stout, cheap and maybe 20lbs lighter overall than the stock manifold. They should flow nice - I managed to match the ports from the ITBs through to the head.

Here's a YouTube video that served as inspiration during the many hours of grinding. It's a Beetle, with an EZ30 on ITBs, making 280hp on a dyno.Sound up!
