Figured I would take advantage of the fact that there is not a foot of snow on the ground and get a head start on the spring cleaning of my new project.


Still needs polish, wax and daylight to get some good pics.

Nice project James!

What all are you planning to do with it?


Thanks, and im not totally sure. Short term the plan is to make it a driveable car again. Currently its just a roller. I have the numbers matching engine for it but its out of the car and missing a lot of what it will need to run. Thankfully I have a decent sized parts stash so I should be able to make it whole again without to much parts sourcing.

Long term, not sure. It was somewhat of a spontaneous purchase. I had way to many cars before I picked this up but as a long time 914 addict you just don't pass up an LE in need when the deal is right, so now I have one more than way to many cars. Made an agreement with my wife that I would sell it when I was done but that depends on my level of attachment when the time comes. If I think about it logically, I like to daily drive/drive the hell out of my 914s and I suspect I might feel guilty about doing that in a car this nice/rare. Can't say for sure until the time comes but if I hang on to this one ill most likely sell my 73 2.0 instead to appease the wife.

I gave him a heads up shortly after bringing it home. Part of my motivation to wash it was getting him some good pictures.

This is just the first box to get me started! Guessing I will have added a decent chunk to Marks retirement fund before this thing is done. Car came to me with absolutely zero of its rubber remaining.

No, given i am not sure what my long term plans are for this car I am trying to not get too crazy with it just yet. Right now I am just looking to make it whole again. Its missing so much currently, I just want to make sure I have a complete viable car before i get to deep into cosmetics.

I think if I got the issues with the paint on the passenger side targa bar and the scratches in the rear deck lid addressed that most people would have trouble finding issue with anything else and those two things should be able to be addressed without undoing to much work. If I was to put to much more into the paint it would be to nice a car for me. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to drive it and I dont have much interest in owning cars I dont drive.

Ill leave it to the next owner to take it to the next level, I just want to bring it back from the dead.
