Another new newb! Options

Hi! I'm finally starting to tear into my 914 restoration and I thought I should introduce myself before starting into my flurry of questions. I've been lurking around for a while and this board seems like a great resource with really great people.

Here's my project car... Looks like a reasonable daily driver doesn't it?

It's not... But I knew that when I bought it - the previous owner was very upfront about the condition (he even told me about this board!). It' not like it's a basket case, I've got the parts in cardboard boxes... Lots and lots of cardboard boxes... As far as I know this car is a '74 1.8, paint is original (but 30 years of mountain sun mean you can take it down to primer with your fingernail), and I have no idea when it picked up the 2.0 wheels, but I've got 5 of 'em! BTW it had an original windshield too, but my first resto lesson was that 30 year old adhesive is stronger than glass.

Anyway, I know a bit about fabrication from building rockcrawling Jeeps but this a different animal... I'm still looking in the boxes for the radiator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... Thanks in advance for the help!

If it has front/rear sway bars and a center console with temp, clock and amp guage, it is populary called the "S" model and more than likely came with the FUCHs wheels. It looks like Sunflower Yellow.

You will find the radiator in the box labeled "Unecessary Cooling Parts" along with the associated hoses and thermostat housing for the engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

And Welcome to the Board - requirements of ownership and membership are a sense of humor, abestos underwear and high tolerance of blood, pain and patience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) plus a high limit credit card and an AA card.

Happy motoring!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
