If you didn't see elsewhere this is a 1970 914 w/ a 327 and 901 transmission. I purchased the car from "Bullit" and here is some info I gotten thus far. The wiring harness is out of a '73; the front end is off a 911 but I forget which year w/ "M" calipers; Trailing arms have some of Foley's reinforcement kit; Engman inner stiffener kit was installed; Griffen radiator;window regulators from a '73; stock 914 1/2 shafts and a lot more which I'll note later.
I'm presently working on the rear brakes and trailing arms and have 2 questions. What is the torque valve for the nut that my torque wrench is attached to; 108 ft lb or 50 ft lb? The manual says 50 for "Control arm bearing/body" and 108 ft lbs for the "Control arm bearing/control arm". Not sure which is which! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Thanks guys. The growl raised my testosterone level by a factor of 5. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) And Kevin, I have the Horn Pad; just not going on until carpet goes in. I won't even tighten the steering wheel until the last thing. I like to remove it for the access. Thanks though. I ordered the exhaust parts tonight so it will be a little quieter next time. Once I get the brakes operational I'll take it around the block. I am looking for a knee pad if anyone has a lead on one. I just noticed there isn't a hole for the antenna so I may just skip the radio/stereo addition. The door cards aren't drilled for any speakers either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Figured out why the fans didn't come on. I forgot to put the fuses in. Second time I've done that in as many cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I figure 8-10 more weeks and I should be finished. What do ya'll think the going rate for a car like this would be on eBay? I'm thinking the proceeds from this one will finance my next project this summer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Just wait for the feeling of the torque! Try for 4times what you paid. I have seen them go for all kings of different money. I guy would have to think how much it would cost him to build one and at $20,000 It may be a right number. Then a guy that has cash and that may not be a big deal for him may just want to roll right now. You could try for more. Who knows as parts and cars are going up, up, up! Back in 79 I had one and sold it for $10,500 as I kept lowering the price. The guy that bought it said he would of paid $12,500 as it was going to cost $20,000 to convert his 912 over. Now at renegade it is super bucks. It was all timing. In cars as in life. Timing is everything. Bob B |
