I am the proud owner of 1974 1.8 liter 914. The PO blew it up and parked it in a blackberry patch. There it sat for the past 6 years. He did pull the motor and tranny and stored them in a shed. So theres that. The car is a huge project. I am an experienced welder and metal fabricator and mechanic so that aspect doesn't scare me. The car needs major body work. Everything is still there as a far as parts. the glass is good.
I work part time at a machine shop and I took the motor down to the shop today. It looks like the cylinders need to be replaced and I am not sure just yet what "blew up" in the motor. I plan on splitting the cases in the next few days. I'll post what progress I make on it. Excited to get it back on the road! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) You'll find the rust spots but some of the more common areas are the rear of the trunk, the rain channels around the trunk, frunk, and head light buckets, the quarter panels adjacent to the taillights, bottom of doors, door sills, the area where the body and sail panels meet, the cabin floors, the area beneath the pedal assembly and the biggest offender; the area directly beneath the battery tray. This is the area that is the Killer. Rots out the suspension console and the long. Even migrates to the firewall. Once the body is repaired throw a Subaru drive train in it.
