It's not as bad as I originally thought (mechanically).

You'll need an engine compartment relay box
Round relays and a voltage regulator
Engine and alternator wiring harnesses ... and possibly new battery cables
Distributor cap and sparky wires ... (maybe a distributor)
Possibly an alternator (and belt)

Driver side carburetor will need to be evaluated to see if it's salvageable ... if so, you'll need a rebuild kit (might as well get two and do both)

Your tins look like they'll clean up OK (bead blast & repaint)

Engine bay rubber seals may need replaced (914 rubber has a nice kit)


Others may chime in, as I may have missed a couple of things ...

I'll check my inventory and let you know what I have laying around

Everything you mentioned I probably have on a shelf or in a drawer, including carb rebuild kits.


Waiting for an estimate!

I can not thank you enough for putting of your own time into this.

The car is on its way to Chris Foley ... thanks to Jody from Whitehorse transportation for the great price and service.

Lets hope for a painless resurrection.

I could donate a relay board and maybe a dizzy if necessary.
I also have a whole harness in a box with two relay boards.

Interesting how it looks like the voltage regulator melted into a puddle.

Ditto on sending it to the right person! You'll come out in the end a happy man. Takes a bit to get past it but your on the right track.

Post a list of needed parts once you get a good look.

And I assume one of the first things is to verify that the PO did not leave the stock Fuel Pump in for a carb install?
