I think I am an addict, I have a 914 hoarding problem.
I just went to look at a 1973 1.7 this weekend. It is real good looking at 10 feet but it turns out that it is a typical east coast car. It has had the longs repaired once already and it was repainted. Once I started digging into it, I found the hell hole damage was not repaired, and the wall between the passanger compartment & engine bay is rotted out due to the old soundproofing material and it would need a rear floor. I showed the seller all the damage, and he stated "well, this fucher is going to the scrap yard, I want my car trailer back." Really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Asked him if he would part with the rims, and he threw me a price for the whole car that I couldn't pass up. I am going to evaluate it when I get it home, but have a feeling that it may be too far gone to repair. I bought it for the rims as I really like the look of them. I searched the site but haven't found much information on them. Were these a dealer option? Anyone have any input on them? |

The key difference in the wheels is the offset.
Put a straight edge on the rim and measure to the mounting face on the back of the wheel. Bug wheels have a larger offset than 914 wheels so you are limited in how wide you can go with the rubber or it hits You know you always have a place to dump a car if you dont want it...I do have a problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My son and I whistle the sanford and son song frequently. We are heading to the pomona swap meet in CA in October...that will most likely net me a new porject or two. VW, maybe, hotrod , possibly...we shall see. rich |
