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 for you guys. I pulled the front suspension and got the brakes off of the rear. I need to do some searching to figure out the best way to remove the stub axle assemblies out of the trailing arms.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1474779319.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1474779319.7.jpg) Also hoping this top is the same style / will fit my '75, need to do some more research as well: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1474779319.8.jpg) Will be tearing into the interior soon to remove all the bits I want to keep: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1474779319.9.jpg) Also got some bad news on my engine parts... The shop called to say that the crankshaft and cam I supplied were not useable. Apparently the crank has already been turned .020" under and he did not want to turn again? He also said the heads will need a valve job & new springs. As a result... my estimate has now jumped to $6500-7000 to source those missing parts and build the engine. I'm having a real hard time swallowing this one and not quite sure what the course of action will be at this point. I'm hoping to get my parts car moved out of storage this weekend so that I can start cannibalizing more and get the shell on the chopping block. Will keep you all posted. |
