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! |

If you will recall, I was missing both factory trunk hinge mounting points from my car as the PO removed them for some unknown reason. Well, last night I got around to fitting the new J West trunk pivot mounts with heim joints. Overall, it wasn't too bad of a process. The hardest part was figuring out exactly where I wanted to align the trunk lid to still have maximum future adjust-ability. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.
Here is the lid taped down after we shimmed (with an old valve cover gasket) to get the lid where we wanted it: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1492034249.1.jpg) Then, I crawled underneath and marked the holes with a sharpie. The trunk lid had to be removed to drill the holes, and even then two of them were challenge because of the angle you have to attack them from. Here is the mounted J West pivot: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1492034285.1.jpg) Lastly, a pic with the trunk hinge installed and in place: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1492034286.2.jpg) Also realized last night I might not be able to fit my Camp 914 struts while the car is still in the rotisserie as you cannot open the trunks all the way...
