I've been looking for a solid mostly original 914 for a while. Found this one semi- locally and secured it today.
Its a solid car with zero rust and everything works, even the clock! What will I do with the engine? Nothing! Keeping it with stock FI and will just drive it. It has a couple of oil weeps, so I might address those, and it has a dead spot at 3,300 RPM, so I'll check AFR and advance and might adjust that bobble out, but I have no plans to even drop the engine as it runs too good and is too original. All I plan on doing is getting rid of the gold 8 spoke rims and bolting on some polished Fuchs. Feels good to have a 914 again, the last one I had was a /6 that needed a bit too much to finalize the conversion, so I sold it incomplete. This one, well it needs nothing and is ready for fun!    Like I said, I think I'll keep this one, and it can join the rest of the collection. There's an '88 Carrera and a 993 that you can't see there, and my 964 is still at the paint shop. The 500E also wasn't present for the photo :-)  |
