Hey guys i'm new, name's James, i've been surfing the forum for the last few weeks. At first i was planning on building a sr20 datsun 240z, but through some convincing by dlo, i decided to go with a subaru swapped 914. i just picked up the 914 yesterday and started working on it today. I'll try to document what i do in this thread. anyways im new at this and i'm working on a limited budget, so anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. especially knowledge and parts on a subaru swap. i'm a full time student so its mostly a weekend project, i hope to get done by summer.
picked up the 914 from dale in lake elsinore. who still has a red roller for sale. heres how it sat when i showed up. it was sitting at the top of a long uphill dirt road which my car could not make it up. dale drove me and dlo up the hill to check out the car. very nice guy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10027-1305492155.1.jpg) heres the front trunk and gas tank. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10027-1305492155.2.jpg) the rear trunk (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10027-1305492155.3.jpg) here we are towing the car down the dirt road with dlo in the cockpit.
