Hello everyone my name is Jerry also known to some as (newbie hoser scammer ) I recently within the past few days purchased our first 914 . I immediately fell in love with the car at first sight along with my two sons age 9 and 18. I was very nervous about purchasing a car that I knew nothing about, with that said the car arrived today and I had already prepared myself for disappointment because in the past every time I bought a project car it turns out to be way worse than I thought. I'm pleased to say this car did not disappoint me. I immediately started looking the car over expecting to find rotted floors and rockers , quarters or something. I pulled the trunk carpets out and no visible rust. I poked around with a screw driver and nothing. I scraped under coating off in the wheel well and corners thinking I'll definitely find rust there but nothing. I haven't pulled the rocker covers off yet so there is still a chance. The only place with rust was below the battery which didn't even look that bad, the dreaded hell hole was the only spot I could find so far and didn't look as bad as I thought.

You have a great starting point. Most people find lots more rust than that. Build a 2056 with D-Jet and install it. That is the most bang for the buck in the Type IV builds. The transmission probably sheared the roll pin on the side shifter console. It happened to us years ago. Easy fix, but you have to drain the gear oil and pull the shift console. Suspension upgrades would be a set of sway bars, new springs and shocks. and some wider tires. The rest of the car looks great. Wonderful find! |

Would doing that take away from the car? |
