I picked up this sweet 73 2.0 a little while back and went through all of the bad stuff on the car. It is now ready for a new home as I have a v8 powered 72 on the way.

This is a numbers matching car with a rebuilt 2.0. Original injection is gone, but it has brand new EMPI 40s on it (see description). I am in Livermore, CA if you want to check it out in person.

Car was originally red, now black with a decent (good driver quality) paint job that is probably 10 years old or more, but it shows pretty nicely.

1973 Porsche 914
Restoration Work and Parts List
• Right Longitudinal had rust from Hell Hole but he doors opened and closed perfectly and there was no flex in the jambs when jacked before the reinforcement
I Reinforced both Longitudinals using the Brad Mayeur’s reinforcement kit that ties into the rear suspension arm points
• Hell Hole Area was bad but not terrible. I Used Mad Dog Racing’s Hell Hole Repair kit to replace all rusty metal in that area
• Battery Tray was pretty much non-existent, Replaced with factory repop from Restoration Design
• Right Rear Suspension Console had cracked (not rusted, interestingly) and been POORLY welded in a terrible repair attempt. I Cut it out entirely and replaced with a new piece from Restoration Design, reboxed it into the trailing arm pickup point and seam welded it.
• Interior floor and Firewall both had some rust, mostly on passenger side. All was cut out and replaced
o Both sides had one seat support that had some rust, both were top-plated and reinforced
o All were coated with POR15
• Firewall coated with Al’s Coating Heat and Noise Reducing coating to approx 30mils
• Rear Swaybar was broken. I Removed the links and bar. Tossed the bar, but the links and mounts come with the car, along with new bushings
o Replaced front pads with Hawk HPS and rears with factory Pagids
o Replaced all soft lines with braided lines
• Engine was rebuilt by previous owner, less than 2000 miles on it. No way to verify. 125k on chassis
o New bolt-down cast aluminum valve covers from EMPI
o New EMPI HPMX dual 40mm Weber Kit
o New SVDA distributor with vacuum advance and electronic ignition
o Fresh valve lash adjustment
o Fresh oil change
o New Clutch Cable
o New Left e-brake cable
o New Speedo Cable
• New “Porsche” rear reflector and remote trunk opener
• Complete Jwest Engineering Rennshift shifter installed along with all new shift bushings
• Has 5, correct, 2.0, Fuchs alloys. 4 are polished and on the car wrapped in brand new 205/50/15 Dunlop Star Spec tires.
• New Luisi steering wheel with adapter
• Pedal Box is rebuilt
• New carpets
• New Optima Red Top Battery
• New Turn Signal Switch
• New Drivers Seatbelt (NOS)
• Heater up pipes and rear blower have been removed. Longitudinal tubes are still in place but blocked off with Spray paint lids to prevent fumes in the cabin. Pipes and blower come with the car
• Rear CV Joints have been freshly greased with Swepco, new Allen Bolts from Pelican were used to install them
• New “Porsche” Embossed ABS rocker covers
• The only rust left in the car is on the rear trunk vertical section by the lights. It isn’t structural and it isn’t actually all that bad anyway. Its on the inside only. The whole trunk will be wire wheeled down and POR15 coated
Rear decklid has some cracks forming where they probably filled a dent. Again, no rust visible below, so probably just marginal quality bodywork.
• Has a pair of correct, Porsche numbered side view mirrors installed but there are holes where a larger or different side mirror had been installed at some point.

The car starts right up and runs great, has no smoke or serious oil leaks. 1st gear synchro still good. Trans works great (the shifter helps!) Clutch is solid. It drives great, The carbs are pretty good but could use some fine tuning, IMO
