Just a quick update. Since there is no room in the driveway for a rotisserie, my dad and I are building a pad that will run alongside the driveway. It will hopefully be done in the next two weeks, barring being able to rent the equipment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We've been trying to rent equipment since the first week of September.
So no 914 stuff will probably be done during this time. |

Putting out plea for some metal. The first picture I need #2 & 7 for the R side. The second picture I need #6 for the R side. Also, does anyone have a L engine mount that is not rusting out?

Are you are looking for a driver's side engine mount? I have one that is in great shape. It is usually the passenger side one that rusts out. John |

I've been working on rebuilding #2 and #7 on my car. I will post pictures pretty soon. It is not easy to fix from scratch, and I think it would be a big pain to replace. Mine was severely rusted, yours does not look that bad. John |

Thanks for the kind offer Fourblades, but rdauenhauer is fixing me up for the engine mount. I have learned my car tries to do the exact opposite from the norm.
I have another request for the board. Does anyone have the #7 for the psgr/R side that is not rotted out? |

Update- After spending 45mins on the phone and getting plenty of "uh's", "um's" and "what was that again" I found 2 places in town that can pull a 914.

Today, my friend came over for Thanksgiving and to do this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and lots of sanding. (lots and lots and...) Yes, we did feed him.
We also got the car pretty much stripped down. The suspension, brakes, fuel pump, dash, a few fresh air blower parts and the engine relay board is left in the car. |

Did you know that the factory repair manual covers how to repair fender/wheel well and hinger pillar damage? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Neither did I till I looked at the manual this morning to find out how to remove the dash assembly. (And happened to take a look at the Body Repair Section) The manual recommends you use a Celette Universal Assembly and Alignment Frame Model MUF 5 or MUF 5 R with ENS 153 adapter to do major repair work. Out of curiosity, does anyone know of one in Oklahoma or Western Arkansas? The Factory Manual recommends you use VW D 17 Sealing Compound on all the seams and the welds. I real should be doing this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) but f***ing BestBuy woke me up at 5am with full on pounding Bass from the music they had on 3 blocks away. Talk about dead asleep to wide awake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) Sanding 1/32-1/2" bondo away is hard work... |

Update: I went to the You-Pull with my dad today since they were running a 50% deal on everything over the Thanksgiving weekend.
After quite a bit of looking, we found our target '90-'93 Ford/Mercury with the Ford 1.9 liter 4 cylinder that did not have the ignition or fuel injection pulled. My car now has its crankfire ignition and fuel injectors. It was a hell of a lot of work though. We're going back tomorrow to try to pull some choice parts off an old sports car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) that I found in the rows. Also, I want to look at the 2 mostly complete Datsuns again. |

Hey,
It's a nice find you got there! i liked the color very much and hope you'll stick to that... now, when I take a look at your pictures, I thought my reading glasses suddenly wasn't any good any more and realized your pictures are a bit out of focus and dark. Could you try shoot pictures again in a better focus and use the flasher? That would help a lot to give you a better feedback. Based on your pictures, i wasn't able to see the issues you got other than rust holes everywhere (typical for 914) and I couldn't help you with what you need to know. How about try take pictures again, eventhough, you already start cutting it up, which is fine as you need to do it anyway to deal with the rust issues. But with the structural issues, get good pictures so we can help you... keep on working and you will have a decent ride before you know... j |

Hijack
The classic car was a 1973 Jensen Healey that was rusted in place. We did take some parts off it so if anyone needs Jensen parts feel free to pm me and I will tell you what we have. End Hijack The metal and brake parts acquisition are coming along nicely. I still hope to slap paint on before the break is over. Sorry if I sound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) it has been a 16 hour day and it's not over yet. |

Out of curiosity, does anyone have any information on VIN 4742908131? I would really like to know all the gory details. Paperwork, the missing plate from the front trunk...

An orange morning blaze
would be an early morning rise. your solid and dry chassis looks really fuching kind. If you would choose to move it on ebay or cars.com the 914world would beat a path right unto your door. Some of us have racers, some, a daily drive, Some are up on jack stands, some rusted in the drive. To grab a runner "cheap" and drive it for awhile is worth a whole lot more than my POS or even chassis #4 |

I see people working on their 914's and it's inspiring. Unfortunatly I still have other projects in front of the 914... I'm in OKC, but occasionally run to Tulsa. It seems that three - four years ago or so I saw that car (or another orange one) running around. Couldn't get around quick enough to try to catch up with the owner and chat..
Keep up the good work! |
