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! |

I wish my "pecking away every now and then" resulted in as much progress as this. Looking great!

I wish my "pecking away every now and then" resulted in as much progress as this. Looking great! Thanks mbseto. Your build isn't looking too shabby either, and you definitely have more metal work than I ever dreamed. I admire your patience! I finished cleaning up the back half of the front trunk and sure enough found some rust under the factory seam sealer. This was a lot of work... it took two of us 2 hours or so picking away with about 10 different tools to get it all out.

I'm dreading stripping the rest of the paint on the bottom of the car, but I know that needs to come first. |
