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! |

Amazing job, well done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Thank you! Just giving the car what it deserves. Grinding down rosette welds takes the Fun right outa welding. I like your pace. Don't let up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Amen... I'm ready to drive this thing already! Ok, so the fun continues tonight... It is officially time to tear into the hell hole and see what lurks ahead.... Firewall, engine shelf, inner fender, and top of long all rusted with pinholes. In this pic, the lower corner of the firewall has been cut out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429129.1.jpg) So, I started dissecting... Here is everything all opened up with just a little bit of the engine shelf left to cut out. Also appears that a PO hacked off part of the engine tin seal channel and folded it down? Need to confirm but doesn't look original to me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429129.2.jpg) This is the section of the top of the long I cut out and will have to re-create. I did not realize there was a doubler underneath, so I'll have to get creative to weld something back in to retain that original strength. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429130.3.jpg) But, still glad I cut it out because the top of the long was pretty pitted with a few pinholes: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429130.4.jpg) Pretty clean down inside there: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429130.5.jpg) Before stopping for the night, I coated the inside of the long with Master Series: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1488429130.6.jpg) We'll see how energetic I'm feeling tomorrow after work, would really like to get this repair knocked out to say I'm "done" with the major sheet metal repairs. |
