18yrs ago a local contacted me looking for parts for his 72 that he has owned since 74. He was "restoring" it and said it had a turbo.
8 years ago he contacts me out of the blue still needing parts for his restoration. He comes over and ends up buying a 75 parts car I had to use for some sheet metal he needs. Fast forward 3 weeks ago. Contacts me again saying he has sold his house and needs to get rid of his 914 and parts. After talking for a while he tells me his wife passed from covid while he was battling cancer himself. He is now cancer free, but at 68yrs old he has a new priority in life and it is time to get on living. He has since purchased a small airplane and is taking flying lessons, bought a Ferrari and a new place in FL. All the things he and his wife talked about doing. So now I have this 72 with a 1.7 built out to a 1.9 and yes it has a turbo. The 72 has been in this state of projectness for over 37 years. We ran the engine at his place before loading it and the 914 up. So now I get to learn about turbos. Attached thumbnail(s)
