Thanks again to 914world for helping us find the original engine, Drolla for agreeing to trade it for a 2.7L, and John Forbes (Black Forest a Racing) for rebuilding the 2.7L.

We are still collecting parts for the restoration. Here is what we are looking for now:

1. NOS passenger-side inner longitudinal.
2. NOS front fenders.
3. Just about all of the restoration design metal parts available.
4. 914-6 Relay Board
5. 914-6 throttle linkage - both on top of the engine and the bell crank that mounts to the transmission.
6. An original early dash top pad in excellent condition.
7. 914-6 tool kit.


__________

4/2/15
I feel like I should give out cigars. I had a chance to buy a six in the late 80s. It didn't work out for personal reasons. 27 years later I bought one. I didn't know that "bucket list six" meant a bucket of parts, and a list of problems. I am stoked. Bringing her home now. Pictures to follow.

Thanks. We have a soft spot for blue 914s. And I think it looks particularly nice with the Orange (err . . . Rust) accents. Don't you think?

But as I mentioned in a recent post - barn find, as-is is the latest rage in car collecting. You might want to think twice about restoring it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Na. This is for my son and I to restore. Besides, it is pretty rough. I don't think it would be easy to find someone as foolish as me to take it on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/help.gif)

Find a creative accountant. If you use this car to write magazine articles, it could be considered a business expense. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Steve,

congratulations also from my side!
It's in fact a strange task to bring this project car back on the roads :respect:
Perhaps you are able to find the original engine...fingers crossed! Nothing is unpossible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) although this one is heavily plundered.
Otherwise you can get a lot of parts at the sellers shop I heard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hope you will report all your steps of restoration in your mag. Is ist still out now?

Good luck with your new acquisition!

Kaeferfreund
