Bonjour
If you need the engine put together I can do it.... If you need resto, bodywork, paint, mechanical, etc. my buddy Mike can do it. Mike is the 914 specialist, I'm the engine guy. We both have are own businesses, but we do work together. Mike owns an original /6 plus a creamsicle LE and I have a 74 /4. We are both highly experienced and about 3 hrs south of Montreal near Port Hope/ Colbourg, Ontario. All that has been said by the other guys is true, but remember they are talking US dollars. In Canada you would be hard pressed to do (or find) a nice completed /6 for under $15,000 to 20,000 Canadian, so I already wonder about that 914's condition. What is the year of the car? All /6’s in Canada are imported or conversions. When you do the inspection have him remove the rocker panels and inspect the longs. These are the reinforcement rails front to back under the doors. Bring a heavy set (i.e. fat) friend along and have him sit in the seat and see if the doors close proper. Make sure the door gaps line up. Lift the carpets and look for rust and/or repairs. The hellhole is just in front of the battery tray. Does it have a battery tray? The battery is supposed to be in the engine compartment on the passenger side. Ask how the engine is mounted, Is it a quick six, OEM, Johnson? Suspension, brakes, struts/shocks, sway bars? Too many questions to list. We also might be able to find you a nice /4 or /6. PM me for the details. Mark |
