Hey everyone, I've finally taken some detailed pictures of the 73' 1.7 I bought in May. There's ALOT of photos so I've pasted a link the slideshow below.

I'm fairly new to working on 914's and was hoping to join everyone at the rally in September but we had a few things pop up and now I wont be there. So I thought I'd post these pics for everyone to check out. Not as exciting as combing through it in person, I know. Anyways, take a gander and let me know what ya think. It was bought in California three years ago and driven back to Arkansas. Still have the blue plate in the trunk.

BTW - the only thing I've been able to do on the car so far is replace rear calipers and brake lines....and a half-dozen clutch cable adjustments headbang.gif Also while taking these pictures today i noticed my rear passenger caliper is leaking fluid- Ugggg - thought I had everything tight tight tight.

Nice score! I like the wheels painted black with the beauty rings.

I noticed in your picture that your rubber between rear window and engine hood looked like mine before I replaced with new one from 914 rubber.

Miley is a good guy to work with.

love olympic blue. Looks like a nice find. beer.gif


Thanks! I'm really liking the blue and I've considered repainting it Olympic when the time comes. But for right now underneath that blue is a coat of yellow, and underneath that yellow is the original color = Marathon Blue Metallic.

I'll definitely check Miley's site. New rubber is near the top of my to-do list since all that cracked rubber is keeping me from driving it on rainy days. I'd also found a DIY tech article on how to make the targa-to-front-windshield rubber seal....basically combining to pieces of aftermarket rubber to re-create the oem rubber seal. Maybe Miley will have something even better idea.gif

He does! See below. By the way, most of us do not drive our 914's in the rain! Just saying! I don't and I have new seals!
