It's time to move on. Haven't been excited about working on the 914 in quite a while, so it's time to free up the garage.

Quick details,
Car is a 71
Early 911 front suspension w/ A calipers (also have Volvo calipers that are HUGE, but may need a proportioning valve or?)
stock rear brakes, 5 lugs hubs, rotors, no proportioning valve (just a T)
Fake 5 lug fuchs (street rims, not to be used on the track, or w/ super sticky rubber)
I will install New tires (the Kumho's i love are NLA, so not sure what yet)
Stock, good condition Side shift trans, and custom shifter linkage
ALL Renegade conversion (used to work for them, and wont use anyone else) including radiator.
Hot rod turbo motor w/ standalone LINK ECU (STI shortblock, mildly worked WRX heads)

The bad,
Has a 1" rust hole under where the battery tray was, and someone decided they wanted my welder more than I did.
2 or 3 minor rust holes in rear trunk (1/2" max)
Minor rust under front trunk weatherstripping.
The tub is solid and safe, just not perfect.

Interior needs some love (Carpet, doors and seat are not good, dash is cracked, material is peeling, backpad has foam exposed etc)
Paint looks better than most teens, but isn't perfect. it had a low buck re-spray before i got it, and looks good from 5 feet.
Not sure how the struts are, and the shocks should be replaced
Haven't re-calibrated the tach (ship it to North Hollywood Speedo and have it done)
Will need a front bumper rubber. (i was planning on going fiberglass for the weight savings)

It's a good solid car. It will be running and driving very shortly, but I just hung the motor 2 weeks ago, and installed the radiator 10 days ago. Wiring is 95% done, have to swap the gas tank, run radiator lines, and fuel line, install shifter, etc.

When i was giving rides @ Sharps in my yellow car, that was a 2liter motor. This is a 2.5L, and is a BUNCH faster. Most of the So-Cal crew know the old car. This one is similar, but w/ better brakes and suspension.

It is a few days from driving right now, and I just cant get motivated to do it. I can complete, you can complete, I'll trailer it up to Renegade and they can complete, Talk to me.


I'll get pics either tonight or this weekend. It's a Red stock bodied 914, you have seen them before i promise.

Since I need a price, 17K and i'll make it a running, driving car. Can vary up or down depending on what you want done.
