Hey everyone. Been lurking here for a month or so and finally had the courage to post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Picked up an original '74 Light Ivory 2.0 liter that was sitting for about 15 years. Appears to be a Texas car that made its way up to Arkansas, which is where I found it. Walked the first time I saw it because of rusted rear floor pans but it ran and everything was there, including the owner's manual (missing front cover) and tool kit (surface rust on all tools except tow hook). Went back the next weekend after much thought and some discussion with a guy at church who restores vintage VWs and "cut his teeth on 914s" (sounds painful). He's busy cutting out the cancer and I've been busy ordering replacement panels from Restoration Design haha. Anyway wanted to introduce myself. I'll get more pics up as the restoration progresses. Engine and tranny are out, as is most of the interior. Here's one of when I picked it up. More to come later.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) really! but nice to see that in such a short time. usually we see this amount of work done over months or years not weeks!! - btw, who is doing most of the welding and metal work? really did a great job. my 75 has some of the same cancer in the rear longs and jack points and have not been able to find anyone locally and have to get those done. but watch out once the community gets wind of his ablilities he will get an onslaught of requests! enjoying the posts! keep up the good work |
