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! |

Quick update. I've spent a couple of nights working on disassembly. Most of the wiring harness is out, the interior is empty, and the last bits I have left are the pedal assembly, heater box assemblies and steering column.
I thought I'd post some additional pics of the firewall rust spots. This one I knew about and can be seen from both sides. It looks like it will be a fairly simple rectangle patch with a couple of breaks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1469720726.1.jpg) This one was new to me, where the firewall meets the floor. Hard to tell in this pic, but bottom right corner of the pan. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1469720726.2.jpg) I attempted to remove the axle nuts last week with a big ass breaker bar and 3' piece of pipe with no luck, I was spinning the tires on the concrete. So I broke out the impact wrench. The driver's side came off easily enough - but the passenger side was really stuck and once it loosened, tore up threads on the way out. I'm not sure if it was possibly cross-threaded at some point or if the threads were rusty / dirty. The axle nut is trash but the axle shaft might be salvageable? When fully torqued, the nut would still be in contact with all threads plus it gets a locking cotter pin. Or should I just replace?
