a couple weeks ago i posted some some pics off my sons 914 that collided into a drunk and her son (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif) who ran a stop (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif) (2-way stop,it was determined 100% her fault and she was cuffed and arrested (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) ) fortunately my son and wife seem to be overall o.k.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
now the fun part of dealing with the insurance, they say its should be fixable but i am a little worried. the body shop gave a estimate of $5800-ouch-. i would like to know more about the first 1000 of the 73' 1.7's which mine is. auto atlanta gave me some scolding (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) when i asked about parts converting to 916 and he saw pic's and checked v.i.n.. the only thing i know at this point is it has 1)vinyl around windsheild 2)A.R. rims (dealer installed?) ANY KNOWLEGE WILL BE GREATLY APPRICIATED! thanks Attached thumbnail(s)

My 914 is in this group of early 73 cars. It had the vinyl around the window, which I removed many years ago thinking it was as aftermarket add-on since the bottom edge wasn't convered with trim.
Anyway, you will also likely find that your front rotors are NOT hub centric, unless someone has replaced them. I finally replaced my fronts with hub centric rotors, which cured my front end vibration. The window mechanisms will likely be the 72's mechanism, not the better 73 mechanism. I've also noticed that the wiring harness appears to be more like the 72. |
