Picked this one up from Jeff on the site. Color changed car, cool color though. I think it's a factory color? I had a 1968 911L that I swear was exactly the same color as this.

1974 2.0 with really little dual carbs.

There is a lot that was done this weekend. Brakes are all working (car sat for 10 years), engine/trans hung. I wound up picking up a FI setup from Rich locally so I am setting the 914 back up for that. Front/rear valances on.

I welded up holes in the bumpers today and am prepping those for paint. Should have bumpers back on in a few days.

Had to free up ALL e-brake stuff. Ugh, sitting for a decade doesn't help. Works perfect now.

Worked on it pretty late last night and got everything all hooked up. Tossed in a battery and the fuel pump actually primed like it should. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) I worked the key and let it prime a few times, no leaks, another yeah since the first couple of FI pumps did leak. Thanks to Rich D. for letting me come over and snag the one off his parts car, guess we should have just grabbed that one with the original FI stuff anyway.

Battery wound up being way too dead to turn over the engine. I have it at work with me on a charger.

So no more carbs, FI off of Rich's 76' 2.0 parts car. I did buy a new CHT and fuel pressure regulator. Hopefully things like the injectors are still good. I'll wait until after I get the car fired off, but I'll replace all other sensors, the TPS and injector points. Another $300 in parts, but it'll be worth it. I am hoping to keep just above that 30mpg mark.

Oh yeah, off with the rivs and on with the Mahles! Picked up a set of 5 from Rich's parts car as well.

Starting to get excited about driving a teener again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Maybe this weekend? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

What did you do with the carbs, what size are they, and would you sell them?
JOEM here needs a set of carbs...he has an old set of webers that I think are past rebuilding...seems to be a few casting issues and reamed out threads that make it damn near impossible to make them work....
He would like a smaller set anyways.

They are Solex P11-4's and in VERY good shape. They were taken appart and cleaned by an aircraft mechanic but not completely re-assembled. I got most of both back together-preset one of the floats etc. Shafts are tight, NO wear on the throats where the butterflies touch at all. Jetted for a 100hp 912 motor.

I have Brand new K&N's, linkage and manifolds for 2.0 or 1.7-1.8 Type 4. PM me if interested. Need a little finishing up which I could do if you like. I also have a good parts list/diagram.

40mm with 32 vents, 1.1's and .07's I believe? Should be just about right for a 2.0 engine. 1.8 or 1.7 might be a little much.

Sorry guys, no new pics, I promise soon.

Car runs perfect. Putting the FI back on was a real PITA! Thanks to Rich D. for selling me the FI from his parts car and then bugging him for fuel pumps until we found one that didn't leak.

Also thanks to Jeff H. for letting me borrow his MPS. Geoff is making one for me so you'll have yours back soon.

Put in a new tinted rear window yesterday, painted the bumpers, did more de-rusting etc. The car is pretty much ready to go except for an air cleaner top. It'll be nice to drive a 914 again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

It sounds really good, fires right up.

Oh yeah, put on my CAMP driving lights I have had sitting around for like 3 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Dude, I cannot tell you how frustrated I was getting with the "Key that sort of works" getting the car started over the weekend. I was being so careful not to bend or break the key off. A delicate balance of wiggling, pulling out just a little,,,not too much etc.

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate it.

Those cool CAMP914 driving lights. Notice the touch up under the front bumper area. Cleaned up anything that even hinted it could ever BE rust and slathered it. Heck, I'm so close, the rear wheels are on!

Pretty much done with the 914 now. I went to put the engine lid back on and forgot about the rear latch thingie that was broken. PO used screws, it worked, but I went for welding it back on.
