First off, some info. 1970 914-6 Chassis. Acid dipped. Left outside last winter (not by me). Getting a 993 non-VarioRam 3.6, Wevo 915, GT Flares, all the fun bits.
And the first order of business is sorting out the chassis. Starting with the rear trunk. These are some freaky looking reinforcement plates poorly welded in. I'm guessing they were for a rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pinch.gif) Attached image(s) |

WOW, I now fell very lucky to have found a 914 with very little rust. Nice work.
question: I choose to go with the 2.2S motor, I figured I would not have to upgrade brakes, suspension, transmission nor axles. Money was a issue. Do you see any problems, I was figuring normal driving habits with a romp once in a while in the mountains. I am close to diving it, have not yet,,, Larry |

Do you see any problems Larry Normal driving should be fine on the brakes. You'll probably never notice brake fade unless you get it on a track or REALLY push it for a seriously fast 30 minute hill run. Suspension, transmission and axles are all fine in stock form. But as always, drive safe and pay attention to what your car is telling you. Each car and each driver is different.
