First post on here but have been lurking for a while. Not new to forums but new on here ,last year I purchased a 74 914 2.0 (paperwork says 73) which has run up a fair bit of history. Imported to my country around 1995 from the west coast of the US by the PO,it was restored by a leading shop in the North Island. The work only consisted of minor panelwork and a repaint in silver,one area under the battery was plated over also,after being run on the road for a short time it was deemed to slow and the then owner started a six conversion based on a SC 3.0 set up for Motronic injection. Most if not all "six'' parts were imported or fabricated off an original car he had the use of for a while. The work stalled during him moving houses and it ended up it a friends barn for a long period,the original shop fitted up the motor/gearbox modified brakes and exhaust before this time Fast forward to 2013 when I meet the owner and said I loved the car his reply was that he had purchased a mid 70's 911 and wanted the motor for that so it was for sale. Due to family illness I didn't take pocession of the car till earlier this year,what a day that was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ,a true timepiece in amazing condition. Plans are to complete conversion and I'am well underway,will add details of car spec's soon,cheers. |
