Just bought my first car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hopefully the weather gets better so i can drive. Makes it difficult with this humidity when the heat and defrost don't work. Looks like previous owner removed the heat lever and covered it with carpet.

QUOTE(Jett @ Jan 19 2018, 10:21 PM) Moost, I live in Kirkland and own the Delphi green 914 and 79 guards red 928 at Chris’s. We completed restoration on three 914’s and have a ton of new rubber from 914Rubber, along with extras of many parts. I’m not super interested in selling parts but given it’s your first car (my first car was a 914) I’d be happy to help. ...after a professional ensurses that the critical systems work, like brakes, I recommend fixing the rubber and then heating (heat exchangers, heater boxes, engine tin, tubing, fan, and lever) yourself. I had a very kind member sell me SSI heat exchangers for our 73 1.7 Phoenix red driver... you need heat and defrost in Seattle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)! Thanks. It can be frustrating to come back to a wet seat! Do you have a windshield to targa seal for sale? Been driving it around seattle and everything works great so far! The motor has 140,000 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) on it and has never been rebuilt. Still feel like I can get some juice out of it before it needs rebuilding. Everything works on the car except the heater and defroster. |

Will check when we get home... looking at your car we may have stuff you need (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
