Hey All,
I've been a bit of a lurker lately, trying to pick up hints and tips for when I finally took ownership of my "new" 914. First off, I just want to thank all of you here, I have been reading up a lot and you guys have helped me out immensely. Now to my questions: 1) I'm trying to get the VIN off the car, but the plate on the passenger side in the front trunk area is a little banged up. Trying to make out the numbers but its not really visible. Can anyone help me translate this into a real VIN? Looks to me like "4Z"732927U41 (the 2 #'s in " " I'm not sure if they are numbers or just scratches). 2) The engine code for the car is GA 001294. I'm told this is a 2L or a 2.1L, anyone have any insight? 3) Last one, the body has some rust on it. There is a hole in the rear pass corner of the cabin (where the longs meet the floorpan it looks like), as well as a hole in the driver sail (where the vinyl would go), and a few other patches. I'm trying to decide whether repairing them is the way to go, or to scrap the body and get a shell. How much does a nice shell normally go for? Any chance of finding one, or slim? Thanks all for your help. I can't wait to get going on this thing! Had one ride on a finished one at an auto-x and fell in love! With my nose in the service manuals, -- Steve |
