Hey all!
I've aquired a 73 914 2.0 that's in pretty sad shape, as far as my knowledge in cars goes. From what I can tell, it has all the typical rust problems of the teeners, including the right long that's just as well not there. But hey, for a free car, I can't complain! That and I figure that it allows me more creative licence with the car than if it were a running car in stock condition. I'll get some pictures posted with in the next week, but I've got one other project ahead of the 914 to finish up and get outta the garage. (87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe taking up but bays of my garage, half a room, and a closet) I do have a question. My 914 sat in a field for at least several months, if not several years (registration expired in '98), and rats have eaten the front harness from the grommet to about 3 feet down line. A PO converted to carb, and I'm thinking about trying to pickup a harness that's up on E-bay. Since I'll likely lose, are there any other viable places to snag a harness from? My alternate thought was to attempt to reconstruct that section of the harness, but I don't know how much damage the rats have done through the rest of the car... Suggestions? (Other than pictures?) Seeing some of the other posts here have been quite an inspiration to get started and carry through. Actually seeing (and sitting in) another 914 this past weekend that was in very good condition helped too.
