So the time has come to finally give up on this project. Car is in a state of (dis?)assembly. Started by building up a 1911 engine, then switched to body work in winter, met a girl, and stopped working on the car.
Fast forward 3+ years and I'm not paying for a wedding and constantly deflecting questions of why I get both parking spots in the garage. More than anything this will definitely help with paying for the wedding. The engine is mostly assembled in longblock form. All tin is there, except the thermostat and related flaps. I have never ran the engine, so I'm selling it more as a collection of assembled parts than a complete engine. All engine parts where bought via Raby at the Type-4 store, except for the 96mm AA pistons. The case, crank, and rods are from a 1.7L. The case was hottanked cleaned, and the crank and rods were polished and balanced. Everything was true so the engine was reassembled with stock bearings. The heads were the stock 1.7l units, and were redone by Len Hoffman. They were cleaned, checked, flycut for the 96mm pistons, and the spark plug location was relocated to the 2.0L spot. Additionally, he slightly bored out the top of the combustion chamber to keep compression from being too high. The heads were reassembled by Len using components from the Type4store super valvetrain kit. The cam is the mild 9500 grind. The engine currently has dual 36ict carbs which I rebuilt, but would probably benefit from a set of 40's. The cam grind should work with both. A couple of pictures of the engine: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.staticflickr.com-9605-1406929654.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.staticflickr.com-9605-1406929656.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm3.staticflickr.com-9605-1406929656.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.staticflickr.com-9605-1406929656.4.jpg) The car has had some work done to the outer longs, and some work done to the hell hole. It's not particularly pretty but it should work. I started installing fiberglass quarter panels on the rear, but only completed the one as shown in the picture. It's been riveted on. I think the car was in a minor accident at some point in time as the passenger side rear corner seems to sit a little higher. The engine mounts, suspension pickup points, and everything else are all level and square though. Here is how the car generally sits right now: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-9605-1406929656.5.jpg) The front flare and side skirt aren't mounted, and are clamped on for the photo. The passenger side hasn't been touched, except the existing quarter panel had the bottom portion cut off for access to the longs for rust repair. Not shown in the picture is where the new fiberglass piece meets the door frame. It's pretty rough, and basically unfinished there. The interior of the car has been stripped and painted, but will need carpet etc. More pictures of the process, along with bunch of other random pics can be found in my flickr stream here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/46284934@N03/ I'm basically selling this as a collection of new parts. Included either mounted on the car or seperate in boxes are new: -Len Hoffman Heads -Type4store 9500 super camshaft kit -AIR fiberglass panels (front and rear flares/qtrs, side skirts, front spoiler) -Full clutch kit/PP, and resurfaced flywheel -Turbo tierods -Bursch muffler (new and uninstalled, but has a slight dent from shipping process) -New 19mm master cylinder -Ground control coilover sleaves and springs -aircooled.net SDVA distributor with petronix All told just those parts total approximately $4500. There are many more new parts that are either installed on the car or in boxes. Including the I 4 calipers I rebuilt, new zimmerman rotors, and new installed wheel bearings etc. I just picked those as they're some of the larger items. So based on that I'm thinking for price I'm thinking $6000 OBO...which is basically $5500 in parts and a $500 roller. It's either a solid base for starting a project or one heck of a parts car. Let me know if that's out of line, or make an offer with what you think is right. |

How much $ for the bursch muffler. I am local in your area. |
