Back story: Car was dropped off at Carl's Cool Cars in Las Vegas based on high recommendations. Their VW specialist rebuilt the motor, bolted it back into the car, then quit. Then Carl splits with the rent money leaving all the cars to be impounded. Owner Eric posts on the 914 FB page he needs a 914 mechanic, @Toast says she knows a guy, and now it sits in my driveway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
My job is to get it to good Daily Driver condition, which involves figuring out the mess left over (particularly the 1.8L FI) and the usual old car fixes. This is my first time working with 914 Ljet so I'm sure I'll be asking questions, plus we'll need some parts that were lost. Parts needed: (will get longer as the days go by) -stock 1.8 banana muffler, gaskets, nuts & bolts. Custom Adds: There are a few goodies on the list... -914Rubber top dash pad -RennShift shifter -Tangerine SS lines Problems needing solved: Time keeps on ticking into the future.... Hello good look'n |

I think the colors are similar enough to be tricking some of you in photos. I see 2 colors on this car. Any telltale signs under the cowl area? Almost the whole car is resprayed. The air box wasn't removed but most of everything else was to change colors. Contrast visible here. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm2.staticflickr.com-431-1537507070.1.jpg) If you need help on the L-Jet, I would be happy to assist. I have worked on lots of L-Jet cars, and I have kept a 74 L-Jet car alive for 33 years. I have boxes of L-Jet parts as well. Thanks a ton. Between the wiring diagrams and tags and lose wires and odd part substitutes I'm under the assumption they were trying to fix a difficult problem. Owner drove it from Albuquerque to Vegas just fine, so I don't know the reason for the "trouble Pics of a complete installed system would be good, with components mounted where they are supposed to be and such. Also part testing specs. Here is a glimpse of what I'm starting with.

Nice color and a good project car.... now see if you can get that one running sooner than your Porschissan! And I'll get off my slacker butt too...
