Okay so I bought another 914. It s a 73 2.0 with a build date of 05/73. Car is Alaskan blue metallic. It looks to have had one reapaint & may not be an exact match to stock. Pretty close though if not. Front trunk is in good shape. Rear trunk has rust as well as rear lid. There are a few rust bubbles in spots. Also the hell hole is pretty bad. This will probably be on the shelf for a while. I do plan to restore this though. Once the LE creamsicle is done & gone it will get it's turn.
Car runs & will drive but calipers need rebuilt. No pads in them now. Easier to move it around that way. Does have 4 lug Fuchs all around. They are just under the car. It has some crappy vw rollers on it except for one Fuch up front. 2 Fuchs have curb rash on them. Overall I'm excited to have another 73 2.0. This was the car that started the madness for me 12 or 13 years ago. Finances forced me to sell it & I've regretted it for years. So I can restore this one & I love Alaskan Blue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh the guy was planning on putting a v8 into it. I have the tranny adapater along with the pressure plates for a 350 & a 327. He also happened to have a buick 215 motor sitting in his garage. It needs rebuilt but I got that thrown in too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Attached image(s) |

Hey Dave someday we are going to meet. LE is coming along. Should get it back from paint in september. Motor is just waiting for me to pick it up. Then it's powdercoated tin put on & it's FI. I am rebuilding the box at PNW Evil tranny clinic next month. Things would go quicker if I was better with my cash. Shouldn't have really bought this car as I need the money for paint. Just can't resist these damn 914's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) . So my car trailer is going to go up for sale. Which is fine as I bought a flat tow kit.
