Sad but true. This WAS a perfectly rust free 1974 914 1.8 that we converted into a 914-6 years ago using a destroyed 1971 model. EVERY piece is genuine 914-6 including the rear calipers, stub axles, weber carbs, engine, converted with bellcrank late 914 transmission, oil tank, oil cooler, engine sheetmetal, heat exchangers, factory mount, front suspension, Fuchs alloys, etc. EVERYTHING except for the steering column and wiper motor. Needs to be repaired or used to make another conversion or rebuild a burned or vandalized 914-6!

It's a good thing they closed that bar down. Both cars going in and going out were risking their lives.
