Is it running? Rust? post some pics for our enjoyment
Thanks
I did post some pictures - it's the car with the transmission held in with a chain.
I would have passed on a 914 in this condition years ago. Good platform to teach my daughter how to build an engine, wire, hammer and weld. She thinks I'm going to make this into a hot rod with her. Nope, she gets 95hp and a mildly restored car. I'm a Dad and this is fast enough. Her car for school is a 94 Subaru, the Oregon State car. She can tool around in the 914 on weekends, during the day. BTW - My wife laughed at me when I told her what I picked up to build.
Ignition hot wired. Car has been in Portland outside for 20 years. Requires new floor panels, rockers, hell hole, spare tire tub. Also plan to replace rear crossmember. Different key for every lock. Rims - backset 3.5" so the 165's almost need the fenders rolled, trunk needs straightening, gas tank replaced with a gas can. But the doors fit. Nice Aconda Blue under the rattle can paint. I don't know if the PO was a genius on keeping a car running or heavily medicated.
I'll get the project pictures posted.
