I guess it's a 914 cousin or whatnot. My wife has wanted one of these since she was a kid and it was our 35th anniversary the other day so we grabbed this for her. It's a 78 and was a color change (from orange). California car with extensive fresh resto work including paint, engine, trans, new fuel tank & pump, suspension, brakes, tires, seats, carpets, windshield, and top. Nice solid tub, one floorpan was replaced and at least one fender. Not smog exempt (yet) unfortunately, but passed no prob on Monday prior to transfer and we will likely move it out of California by next time...
Needs details sorted including some overspray and finishing the radio/dashboard but should be a fun car & project. My wife wants to learn to work on it herself which will be fun, and helpful as we've got a bunch of older cars now and my hands are overflowing.   Attached thumbnail(s)

Congrats on the 35 years and her new car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
Very nice triple (or quadruple) white combo, and modern too with FI! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) My first three cars were Beetles and even today I find myself surfing on the Samba tempted to get one again. Like our 914s, magic little cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |
