Hi 914World,
New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
Looking forward to this one! |

Welcome to the world site. My son is a aggie me subie hotrodder. we live in the waco area. If you could see my completely original malaga red 75 you would cry when I tell you it is a subie candidate. I also thought it was a original paint no rust colorado, Wyoming car but it has had battery area repairs in the 90's and I have found some small spots that need attention. I have painted several of my projects in the past and had the car a year or so before I noticed the clear coat that may or may not be over the original paint. It does show ppg sanding primer on the jack post covers so it will get a very close inspection when I tear it apart. Also my car doesn't have the cat box in the floor but it did come with the foam piece as extra parts.
There are or was several good guys that part out 914's in the san antonio, austin, houston area that are on the world site. I would see about the rear trunk piece around the texas area as I think it will fit better. Look up strawmans thread I think. I haven't decided if the 1.7 in my car will be a donor motor in another project or not yet. The game plan is to build a motor stand and set it up to run and see how well the fi works. The motor was gone through in the 90's also. I have all the paperwork on the car from about the second owner on. It is all in a big three ring binder that came with the car from the last owner with some show pictures from the 90's. I drove it in the shop. I guess our cars are sisters but maybe mine is still a virgin. If I live long enough it won't stay that way. I know right now it is hard to work in this heat for me but hopefully not for you. Also I hope you will be doing your own bodywork because your car will not be cheap to bring back. Keep the receipts but forget the labor cost. Do a lot of researching on this site and ask a lot of questions it will save you a lot of time and expense. |
