I purchased this car earlier this year with the hopes of rescuing it from its dilapidated state. It ran(barely) and the brakes were nearly seized in all corners from sitting. I trailered it home, and assessed my purchase. I came up with the list, and performed the following:
ORIGINAL 1.7L ENGINE- replaced the plugs,plug wires,cap rotor,condenser,serviced the F.I. contact points,all injectors,fuel line and vacuum lines in engine compartment, replaced fuel filter, performed two oil and filter changes,adjusted the valves, and replaced the valve cover gaskets. RUNS GREAT, but does leak some oil at the rear main seal, and push rod tubes.
BRAKE SYSTEM- Replaced front rotors(Sebro) and pads(Porterfield) and restored front BMW 320i calipers,replaced rear rotors and pads, and rebuilt the 914 calipers,replaced the ebrake cables, as well as the hard and soft brake lines. Larger master cylinder as been installed as well. BRAKES and E-BRAKE WORK GREAT and stop straight.
BODY- Original Tangerine with one exterior respray from along ago, but now has a great patina and lots of imperfections(character)! But you can drive it and not worry about scratches,nicks,etc... I love the weathered paint the way it is! NO RUST in floors or trunks, or HELL HOLE( due to dealer undercoating) but the passenger longitudinal will need attention(as shown in pic), but the drivers side is super solid. Passenger side does have slight door sag, but shuts well. LATER MODEL BUMPERS INSTALLED FROM A '73. Body shows signs of previous damage to the left rear quarter panels and trunk lid, but neither needed replacement before the repaint(likely late 1980's)
ELECTRICAL- The overall wiring is in good repair and all systems function as they should, except the heater blower.
INTERIOR- All black interior with nice door panels, and dash top, newer carpet. The seats will need recovered, and the passenger was upgrades to an adjustable '73(needs,bracket welded in). No radio or seat belts
WHEELS-Original Pedrini wheels are newly painted and look awesome! The Kumho tires have great tread with no sidewall cracking and recently balanced, but are older.
The car runs, drives and stops great, but still needs a bit more work to be roadworthy(body seals,oil leaks fixed, longitudinal rust repaired; but once done, it would make a great Autocross canidate of Patina ride!! Or a good candidate for restoration
A ton of time, money(receipts included), and energy has gone into getting the car to its current state. Will you be the next care taker to finish out this killer ride??
NO TRADES OR HOLDS
