Update, I'll be offering this one up for sale when completed.
Here is a link to an album on fickr much better to see progress pics

I started with a 914 that sat 15 years in dry storage in the hands of a hopeful V8 conversion fan. A stalled project that never happened.
So my starting point was an unmolested car with no rust issues.
Original books/manuals, keys, radio and so on.
This will be a mildly modified back date look with body color bumpers and early steel wheels with hub caps.simple look of the German delivery first series cars.



Starting in on the home stretch, glass in and ready for door install
Interior is in and wiring connected. Starting to test systems and wake the long sleeping beauty. So far all go except for one headlight wont wake up.I'll be digging in on that as I work thru the rest of electrical check out.
Should hang the doors in the next few days. Fuel up and brake check out as well.

Paint remover, the kind that burns like mad when to get it on you.
I don't like to blast as it gets grit everywhere and not as easy to control if you have other parts finished. I use heat on the OEM seam sealer in the form of a propane tourch. Stinky and not fun.

Floors with original factory finish. These were striped and epoxy painted before Roadblocker sound absorption mats were applied.
Roadblocker is self sticking butyl rubber with 4 mil aluminum backing, odorless non asphalt, good stuff.

Looking good. Could you talk a little more about the paint stripping? What brand, what was the process like, did you neutralize.... I want to know all about it!

Wow the removal of the seam sealer makes such a huge difference. Looks great so far!

Yeah once you get it off you don't want to replace it, it looks too nice.
There's plenty on the under side. Front trunk got the same treatment.

After looking over the other builds here I can see how boring this build is. No dramatic surgery or radical mods. Good thing I not worried about winning any prizes.I think I should pair it up with my engine swap car to spice it up a little.

Engine ready to go in after bench testing break in run up and basic tuning.
1.9 with fly cut heads, mild cam Dellorto 36s with 29mm chokes single vac. dual advance dizzy with Pertronics, full stainless exchangers and a header on the back.

Steel fuel lines and other bits installed.

Fuel pump and filter in stock locations.
Using a return flow set up 4 PSI pump with a flow restricting fitting in the return line yields high volume low pressure.
