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! |

Time for a few updates… While I was out of town, my Dad was bored enough to wander into the garage and play around with the teener (much appreciated). He knocked out some patches for the side marker warts and also filled the antenna hole:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.2.jpg) Heat shield now separated from donor panel and ready to be welded onto new rear trunk floor: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.3.jpg) He also discovered what must be years of accumulated rat droppings under the headlight buckets: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.5.jpg) Enough to fill almost 3" deep inside of our 16 gal shop vac. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.6.jpg) Still some left even after lots and lots of vacuuming: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531922.7.jpg) The insides of these areas under the buckets will have to be treated with master series for sure. I ordered a (cheap) paintless dent removal tool off amazon to try out on some of the dents on the car. It seems to work pretty well, other than the glue getting stuck to the plastic pullers. Here is a dent we experimented on: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531923.8.jpg) Glue applied: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531923.9.jpg) Using the puller: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531923.10.jpg) Dent is almost gone after one attempt (note it is in fact NOT paintless) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1484531923.11.jpg) After pondering over the patches I needed to make, I broke down and ordered a front and rear trunk floor panel from Restoration Design. We've just about got those in place now, so will update with more pictures soon! |
