I have a 1975 bright yellow 914.
Really nice 10 foot car, and great runner. No major rust, but some things could use attention. I know me, and if I start in on it as a project I'll have a garage full of parts in little zipper bags and a stripped bucket. I love some of the Subaru converts, but thinking a SBC could be more in the budget yet still gain the HP and reliability. Or should I just keep the 2.0 that's in it? Or sell it and focus my attention else where........... |

Sell it to someone who really cares about the car and will grin large everytime they drive it. Nice cars are getting hard to find.

That's the problem.. I completely love the car, love driving it.. I think what I'll do is keep it, and improve it. And keep my eye out for a good project car to make into a sleeper. |

get a second car, rust free, and do a suby naturally aspirated with suby trans. i'd say to get a suby 5spd donor car without an immobilizer (pre 2001 I think), so you can use its ecu/computer too. provided, ian, in member vendors section, continues to offer cradles and what not. then it is mostly bolt on proposition. aside from the cutting of the 5 holes plus the clamps that hold the cooling lines under the car, for the cooling system from renegade hybrids for $1000. so even if you get a great donor for $2000, + ian's stuff for $1000, + cooling $1000, you're looking at $5k in parts, minus the cost of a second 914 (ideally with great paint and no eng or trans).
