Well, I've been projectless for 5 months and I'm twitching. I'm thinking about a Vespa restoration (way too much $ for these so far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ), building a sailboat (that's in keeping with the tradition of jumping into things I know nothing about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ), or building another 914 (my personal choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ). Hell, I might even take a few years and do it right. So my question is how much are we talking about to create a 914-6 given: #1, a running 4 cyl doner 914 - #2, a running Suby 6 engine. Yes, I understand there are companies that sell conversion parts and/or kits but......... in the real world when it is all said and done, what is the appx. cost? Thx, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I'm about $500 into my Subie 2,2l conversion. So far it includes the following:
'95 EJ22 Harness ECU 2 FWD Subie trannies (one was to trade for the new cradle) Axels Needless to say, PAP has been a tremendous boon. I even saw a subie 6 out at one location that was in a car that'd been hit hard in the rear. PAP charges $150 for 4 cyl, think it's $200 for 6(??) and I bought the harness and ECU out of the car I pulled the engine from for $20. I think patience is the key to keeping project costs down, but I happened upon PAP at a time when they had all of the above parts in the yard at once. Going to buy an MR2 shifter, a new water pump and a new radiator for the project but other than those items and fuel/coolant lines it's not too much of a stretch to think the car will be running for under $1500. That's taking into account the turbo that I have yet to buy . . . |
