Congratulations!! I love the color. Great project. I have engine number 6404153 which I believe is from a 71. What year is this car?

As soon as I have the Certificate of Authenticity (and engine number) I will start the search for the engine. |

My kids were also the reason I came back to 914s after many years of . . . well, kids (I have 6, kids that is). My oldest son autocrossed his Miata. And after helping him a while I finally decided it was time for me to get back on the 914 bandwagon. That was after buying a Boxster, and coming to the conclusion that, although nice, it's a Cadillac compared to the 914. :-) |

Boxster is a Caddy - I like that analogy.
My oldest is now 22. When I bought my 914 a little over four years ago, he drove it and quickly professed that I wasted my money and should have bought a real Porsche, i.e. a 911. Fast forward three years when I buy the 911. After driving it, my oldest informs me it is time to update my will. I told him no worries, his younger brother who liked the 914 from the beginning would get it and the 911 would be his. Surprisingly my oldest's response was that he wanted the 914 and his younger brother could have the 911. My oldest will be my co-driver (or likely the driver) for Hershey - he has fallen for teener and wants one of his own. It's a contagious disease! Watch out... |

What a fun project! So have you thought about what engine your going to put in it? If you can't find the original, you might as well go bigger. So do you want carbs or FI. PMO has a cool injection system. The choices are huge. Lots to dream about.

We got the front bumper off and front trunk open. It was open when we looked a the car a week ago. But, they shut it before we picked it up, and it wouldn't open with the t-handle. Anyhow, I am surprised how clean the front trunk and cross panel are. No apparent accident damage up front. And other than a little surface rust, no serious rust.

I've been analyzing the condition of the tub, starting to disassemble, and organizing. This thing needs serious work. I am working on a plan. We will certainly need a fixture. Kent has been nice enough to give me some pointers on the fixture he built. And Rick has kindly sent me some photos and advice as well. I hope we can start to make some progress soon.

Really cool to see that you got one. I like seeing the ones that people feel are beyond repair, being saved. |
