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! |

Spent a little time this weekend working on some of the repair panels I cut out of my '72 parts car.
I will use this section to replace the missing rear trunk floor on my car: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353645.1.jpg) I trimmed it down to what I will need and cleaned up for a closer inspection: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353645.2.jpg) The typical rear edge where it meets the rear fascia is rusted pretty badly: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353645.3.jpg) Closer inspection finds some holes: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353645.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353646.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353646.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353646.7.jpg) I will be trying to fill some of these holes with a little help from a copper spoon. Hopefully I can salvage this piece because a new one from RD is $$$. I'll also *try* to cut a patch panel out of this to repair where my car was chopped up for A/C. It definitely will need to be straightened and have a few crack seams welded up. It looks like the car was driven over a few too many things: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353646.8.jpg) There are some bad signs including serious rust under the seam sealer: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353646.9.jpg) Lastly, I stole the battery box & tray out of the parts car. It's in mostly good shape save some surface rust and twisting I did getting it out. It will only need minor repairs: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353647.10.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353647.11.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1479353647.12.jpg) That's it for now. Obviously these pieces will need more work in the future. |
