I've been a member here for a couple of years. I've asked alot of questions, got alot of answers and learned more about these cars than I thought would be possible. The 914World community rocks and I figured I would post my journey so other nubies could get some encouragement as I have the past few years.
It all started with a magazine wy wife brought me while I was in the hospital with my second broken hip (ya, Ouch).I'm not Old I just fall off bikes sometimes. I saw this artical on a 914 restoration and figured I would rekindle my love of 2 seater sports cars. So the hunt was on in British Columbia for a project 914. I already knew I wanted a 73-74 2.0 but finding one was not easy. I looked, but everything I saw was in the final stages of oxidation. I literally could put my hand through most of the outer panels. At the $1000-2000 price range it was hopeless, at the $3000 range where cars with much welding required and no running engines or running 1.7s. Then I was surfing this site and I saw what was advertised as a 73' 2.0 for $3500USD but in BC about an hour away. Turns out it was a car I had called on but the guy wanted $6000CDN for it. It was a little out of my $$ range. I emailed him and because the US doller was killing us at the time he said it would be $4000CDN. I ripped up to Squamish and fell in love....and it also was running (bonus)   |

Just so the purist aren't too shocked...I can't live with the original colour. It's just not me! I've owned alot of cars but none are "Beige" She's going to be Viper/Emerald Green.

Update: Still waiting for the bodyshop to pull the trigger on the Viper Green. Lots of excuses the last few weeks but the latest is its happening next Tuesday.
In the meantime there is lots to do: -Clean and repair the interior vinyl bits. I used some GoJo and a "mr.Clean-majic eraser". the vinyl came out super clean and the Lanalin in the GoJo kept the vinyl soft.   |

I used some GoJo and a "mr.Clean-majic eraser". the vinyl came out super clean and the Lanalin in the GoJo kept the vinyl soft. I got lucky and picked up a tan interior in similarly good condition, but freaking filthy. I have been experimenting with cleaners, but nothing has worked very well. Then I read this! Off to get some GoJo tomorrow - thanks! |
