Mark the group buy king, dropped his car off last week. I will get a good run at it next week, but for now I will post the beginning pics. I pulled his tank to take to the refinishers and OHHHH BOY what 20 years does to gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) More pics to come next week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Since there seems to be very little rust to deal with it will allow me to spend more time than usual on the body and paint work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Semi related threadjack, ScottyB magical 914 master. I am going to do the chassis work to my car and get it stripped to bare metal and sacrificially primed me thinks.

I want you to make her pretty.

What is the best way to get a hold of you and chat about this?

Caller ID spoof from some 1-900 numbers for fun.

I will ask for digits via PM I guess. Texting that sort of communication takes up way too much time and effort.

telegraph, definitely under-utilized in these modern times... and can be used even when 3g service is out on AT&T's network.


the car is going to look amazing, but it's very nice already!!

Where did those tools come from? I didn’t know I had them.

The paint looks good in the pictures but only from 20’. It’s bubbled on most of the body panels, the doors are rippled and the driver sail panel has rust at the vent.

Paint will be the same color but this time around I will add the vinyl sail panels and leave off the Porsche side stripes. No bumper tits. I’m still looking for the right wheels to fit the flares. Might go for the Superlites.

The majority of the cost of the restoration will be for paint and bodywork but I’ve been buying parts from the vendors and members on our board. Motor will be replaced once I’ve gotten the chance to drive it a bit. Car was purchased in ’85 and last registered in ’88. 21 years is a long time.

Too nice. You need to sprinkle some rust pellets on it before you get started, then let them germinate for a week or two. After all, we east coasters have a certain reputation to uphold about saving rusted out hulks.

I've never noticed a vent like that one in the middle of the dash... gauges say the car is a 73. What year and engine?

Andy is correct, my '70 has one of those vents.

Car is a '74 2.0 that was restored in '85 so it could have been pieced together with an odd selection of parts. I paid $8,500 in '85 and it ran perfectly for 4+ years. It was a complete stripped, bare metal retore since i was very "rust phobic" from an earlier 914 that had a pretty paint job that hid lots of rust. Bought a jeep and tried to sell the 914 in '89 but nobody would pay $4,500 so I parked it. Then forgot about it.

That's not a '74 chassis ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

The front trunk is missing the '74 reinforcement piece and the rear trunk doesn't have the '74 jack mount.

The complete dash plus dash-subframe is from a '70/'71 as is the steering column.
