Like Zach said before, just what the World needs is another progress thread. So here it is for my 71 1.7L red ride.
I'm working on an engine swap for my leaky 1.7L with slipping clutch to a non-leaking, unknown GEX rebuilt 1.8L so I decided to concatenate several threads on this car into one progress thread. Eventually I will sell the red 71 and keep the green 74 as my only 914. For now the plan is to get the new 1.8L engine in the car. The 1.8L has SSHE where the 1.7L in the car has very much corroded stock HE's. Here's pics after last year's rear end accident that totaled the car and the finished product after many months of rehab. Attached image(s)
