While I sit here at the DMV I thought about telling my experience this morning while at the junk yard. I went in to get a TPS for my subaru conversion and saw a 914 parked there. For a 914 guy to see one of these in a junk yard is tragic so I took a picture or two. Turns out that it's a 71 just like mine. I talked to the yard owner and found that it is his and he won't be parting it out but plans to make one restored car out of two. I found his other 914 buried under some junk. I took both vin numbers and will post to the database.
The yellow car has less rust issues and the maroon car will be the doner. The maroon car is complete. It was on the coast so has rust issues. The yellow car has nice four bolt Fuchs and a center console. I am pleased that the owner will be restoring one of these cars. My first impression was how do I buy this car and save it from being pillaged. But it appears to be on the right track. Posting pictures shortly. |
