Okay I haven't been this tempted in along time. Saw a 73 2.0 car listed.
Doesn't run & has some ungodly spoiler on the rear trunk. Guy was working towards getting it painted. Called him on the phone & could hardly hear him. With me finally having my car on the road again. Feeling the bug a bit more. So I decided I'd go take a look. Here is the good 63k original miles buying from second owner who also stored it inside Interior is perfect with no cracks in dash, seats, door panels or backpad SS heat exchangers Extra pistons, jugs & heads 2 sets of webers carbs (Along with original fuel injection in a box) No sign of any body damage & all panels, gaps look as they should I found one tiny bit of rust below the battery tray. Best hell hole in an original car I've gotten to buy. No rust in either trunk or under the car. The rockers still have the stock rivets. I see nothing around the jackpost or below that worries me L041 original black car Car is complete & anything aftermarket like steering wheel. Still includes the original Bad Needs paint Need to get rid of the ugly flipping wing he put on VW offset riviera's (I will be on the lookout for a nice set of Stock 4 lug fuchs) Motor needs head replaced. Dropped valve he said. Tin painted yellow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Windshield cracked Not a hug fan of the center rear Porsche deflector. So that will go up for sale Guy has not put it in his name. Has the signed title but no bill of sale. With it being out of state. I am waiting for him to go to the DMV tomorrow. Need to make sure I will have no problem getting it titled in my name My plan will be to pull the drivetrain & get the motor sorted. Strip parts to get it painted. I will have the outside painted. Trunks & jams are all still good. Overall I am pretty excited for this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Damn I hate some things with 914's. One is just about every 914 I have bought the previous PO has managed to strip the CV bolts out completely. Maybe not everyone but damn. Buy the proper tool. 6 of the 16 were not so bad & I got them with the right torque bit. Oh & there was actually a 13mm bolt in one of cv's on the wheel side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) . I was able to get a couple more with some vise grips. Thankfully they weren't cranked on so tight they broke loose okay. Guess they were to stripped to get very tight. the last one I can't get to budge. I'll have to grind a cut into it so I can get a big flat head screwdriver. Just enough so I can break it loose. Just took a bit tonight to disconnect everything so I can pull the motor/trans this week. Hope to get the hell hole repair started this weekend. Only a little 1/2" hole & feels solid all around the hole. So I'll spend some time cleaning up the area. Plus the battery tray replacement. New one coming from Restoration Design hopefully by the end of the week. The battery tray support is fine just need to get the remnants of the original tray off.
