I bought my first 914 yesterday. It's a 71 and seems to be mostly original with not too bad of a rust issue. I see some on the floor pans a little, but all the suspension mounting points don't seem to bad.
I am not sure what I am going to do with this project so far, but I want to get it running first and decide. It has sat for many many years, at least 8 here in TX, several in CA, originally from Montana...I think. The motor does turn though so that's a good sign I think. It' still FI. I have gotten familiar with air cooled cars over the past 3 years. I usually run around on Pelican. I am working backward on these cars. I started with a turbo for my first air cooled car and have had several since and still have a couple, now three. Here are a few pics. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i475.photobucket.com-15740-1365343283.1.jpg) FI seems intact.

I know that the owner is traveling.
I am pretty sure they got it running by bolting on a set of carbs running off an external pump and can. The FI was a bit, HMM questionable as is the cleanliness of the gas tank and lines. At least they know the motor is good. The FI will be cleaned and inspected and will probably run. I just got back from a week long work trip and do not know more than this. |
