Looks like I'm going to sell my 914 -- This was a good running and driving car 3 years ago. It developed an oil leak around the oil pump so I pulled the engine out to fix the leak - And I did reseal the oil pump - then I got divorced , bought an E46 M3 and just have not done anything else to the 914. It has a 2.0 with Dellortos that ran REALLy good - carbs have had venturis and later jet kits installed and I have a lot of new parts to install for it . I have SUPER nice like new door panels and armrests and hardware for it that I got from a member here ,the dash isn't cracked , it has the Engman aluminum pedal board , a 911 oil temp/pressure gauge that I hooked up and was working correctly , new aluminum sill plates , it has new tires on it and more stuff I'm forgetting I'm sure. The car has been in my heated/cooled basement for the last 3 years still jacked up where I took the engine out. It does have a rusted spot in the firewall on the passenger side and the very back of the passenger floorboard has a small area of rust too that corresponds to the spot in the firewall - I have the new sheetmetal from Restoration Design to fix these 2 areas. I was going to just use a small patch out of both panels. The longs and the rest of the underneath are in good shape - the hell hole has surface rust but is not rusted out. The worst about that area is a sorry A/C install cut nasty holes for the lines. It has both factory sway bars.
Like I said before - it was a good running and handling car before I drove it into my basement to fix the leak.
I'd like to get $3500 for it - if anyone is interested I can send more pictures but I won't junk up this site with a bunch of photos -I'm in East TN right outside Knoxville

Hello; I live near Harrogate TN north of Knoxville. I would like to drive down and see the car if it is still available

Hi,
Can you send me some additional pictures.

Well I had a half dozen inquires and people wanting more photos - which I sent - but still haven't sold the car. If anyone wants to make me an offer I'll listen - the worst that can happen is I'll say no. Gonna try to get the compression numbers as soon as I get a break from work.

Show the longs. Seriously. If they're good, bump your price 1k. Offered at a these days fair roller price. Still a 914. Wheels and tires must be worth 1k and 500 for the dels. For guys looking, and looking this might be a better first 914 than one that needs major surgery and another 3k for disposables. Edit: oh. What looks like paint you can live with. There's the Ls budget.

Thanks -- I may do that. The rocker panels are molded into the front & rear fenders so I didn't really want to CUT them off. You can see the bottom of the rocker and some of the side by crawling around the car although difficult to photograph - they look solid. I think this car really has a minimal amount of rust compared to most and I have the new panels that will repair it. I appreciate your input and suggestions.

I didn't note the rockers being molded in the pictures. Disregard my suggestion about what amounts to cutting them off. Still, more than fair deal from my couch.
