I cut my wrenching teeth on VW bugs and Type 3's back in the '70's and '80's. Been somewhat out of the game for several years looking to rejoin into the 914 world. Generally the easiest way for more kick is to increase displacement. Short of going to turbo's what is available as far as big bore kits. I am not interested in going the 6 cylinder route or chevy small block route. The car will be street only, but I need speed.

Holy cow. You should buy that tub from that guy in the UK...for $1,500. Man...the entire long is kaput. Why would I do such a thing, this is the fun part. Good thing we have RD at our disposal, it would be much more difficult without them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Thats the spirit. Honestly I was in same position - well maybe not quite as bad. The fun is in fixing stuff that others would simply throw away. For me that true of vintage cars, vintage motorcycles, vintage stereos, vintage tube amps. Whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) this throw away society we've become accustomed to. Though - next time I'd buy a tub from CA. The guys in CA have it made. |

Though - next time I'd buy a tub from CA. The guys in CA have it made. True and true, many Americans simply throw into the trash all kinds of useable items when a repair can be accomplished. Generally speaking one is off their rocker to purchase a Porsche in the first place, more so off their rocker to purchase one in need of repair, and a rust out Porsche, well you get the picture. Had a couple hours today, cleaned up a prior "partial floor repair" completed with 16ga steel brazed in and sealed with gobs of tar. Getting the tub clean and ready for the new panels is a challenge. I am fabricating plywood patterns fit into the door openings that can be used in place of hanging the doors as rebuilding occurs. |
