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! |

H&H is still open, in case you have heard different. I am Wes' son Jay. Feel free to give me a call. Since I have taken over, we have modernized a bit. Dad hated computers and water pumpers. But I have changed all that. We still, and always will, specialize in air-cooled Porsche's, I just needed to bring us into the 21st century. Check out the webpage www.hhautoenterprises.com
Phone number is still the same. 972-423-8526 Thanks, Jay |

Will see what I can find out on the fan. No big update, but another pic from the seller. Going to pick her up tomorrow after work!

QUOTE "Rust Free" car with the only rust being on the surface of cleaned metal Hell-hole looks very clean I'd look closely at the hell hole again. Maybe it's just surface rust, but there are appears to be a bit more than that. |

It will be a bit of work but when done it will be the best handling little car you have ever driven. Good luck with it and keep us posted of your progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
