Welcome, Keith. I've got a parts car with a 1.8 in it. I have no idea if it works, but you are welcome to it if you need it.

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Aug 10 2018, 01:47 AM)  Kristians car has the centerline wheels and I’m not sure where to find the paint code but the car was originally BRG, Mine was silver from the factory and it was simply scuffed to repaint it. The trunk and boot both have factory paint as well as the engine compartment. I’ve been toying with taking it back to silver, I’ve also been thinking I’m going to simply drive it as is for a while. The car runs fine , it’s got a hot start issue that has nothing to do with Porsche and everything to do with the mechanical hackery that was the DSPO Mine also seems to have a ton of miles on it. ( I don’t mind ) Attached thumbnail(s)

How you doin' Group: Members Posts: 2,165 Joined: 7-September 10 From: LawnGuyland Member No.: 12,152 Region Association: North East States

You've already got it figgered, drive the car with AC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) while you and your grandson work on the red car. Nice flares, btw. This will keep one going, which will provide plenty of impetus to get the other done. Then, having worked your way around the car, the second should have a much steeper learning curve.
Good luck, enjoy the fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Having a lift is a wonderful thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Welcome from Milwaukee Wisconsin. You should remove the door sills and check for rust on the "longitudinals". Basically the frame of the car from front to back. I did NOT do that and when I found the doors sagged there is rust. It can be fixed if caught early. I have only owned my 1.7L for a couple months. I found this site to be one of the best I have ever visited. (I have had 944-S (non-turbo) a 928 and Merkur XR4Ti so I have done a lot of surfing.). The people are great, the info is top notch and if you make a mistake (like not checking the longs) they will spank you!

QUOTE(KeithTurk @ Aug 9 2018, 02:31 PM) Hi my Name is Keith Turk, I’ve recently acquired 2 914’s, the first is a $500 project car for my 15yr old grandson Kristian, and the second because I liked the idea so much for myself, a nice enough car bought off Tucson’s Craig’s list from a lying scoundrel The first has been flared in the back and doesn’t run, ( I need a 1.8 engine for it ) and the second is a running ratty car with Zero rust. Having done the rust thing in the past... I wanted one from the Southwest .... it’s Very nice but incredibly rough. Especially anything that can fade or weather harden from the sun. ( I like the NO RUST part enough to love the patina.). I’ll try and post a couple of pictures up....what’s the best way to do that here? I’ve got an I Cloud account but have never posted from it. Thanks in advance Keith ( I’m also a bit of a Land Speed Racer if we have any of those guys here ) That is awesome to be doing something like this with your grandson! Enjoy it and teach/ learn together. What an awesome opportunity (I might be a tad jealous). Stories like this will help to keep younger folks involved in cars and off the damn hand held gadgets/ video games. Congrats on the purchases. Most of all have fun!

Congrats and hope you enjoy the process of getting these cars sorted. Now that you posted a pic, perhaps the style police, AKA Larmo63, can chime in as he so often does!
