Just got my first 914. It’s not in the best shape but not too terrible. I haven’t opened the engine compartment yet due to frozen locks. Just wanted to share and see what you guys think. [attachmentid=712

haclaridge...
Welcome to the 914 insanity... She's rough but there is always potential. Looks like possibly it was last licensed for the road in 1994. So quite a few years of sitting...from the looks possibly outside. What you have to decide is whether it's worth fixing or is it just plenty of good parts for the next one. The only way to do that is to get it somewhere that you can start taking a look at those areas that make any 914 a terminal case. If the body is sound then any other part can be bolted on... The very first area is the "hell hole"...that spot under the battery and going all the way down to the passenger side jack post. This will give you a good start to the assessment of the body integrity. Don't be discouraged ... get in there and start looking around. Post pics along the way on your discovery....this is a good knowledgeable group that is always willing to give advice and help. Good luck and welcome! |
