(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Just bought a huge 914-6 project. The car was one of the factory prototype cars, it is #0031. The car is entirely apart, beed blasted and ready for primer. I have a few things that need to be welded, but I think that will be fairly easy. The car will come with a original 914-6 motor which is brand new. The motor is factory fresh, it was bought a number of years ago from some german parts supply place that went out of business. The cylinders still have the original factory dye in the pistons. My question is, what should I do to it before installation to make sure that it's been prepped perfectly. What should I look to go wrong, it looks really nice, but after 36 years I'm sure that there must have been some negative effect?

Proto31, I looked at that #31 4 years ago. He was at that time welding in new hell whole from passengers feet all the way back on both sides. The motor with the blue stuff was the give away and of course #31. He also was chopping up 6ers and selling the 6 ID’s and any metal 6 Id parts with Titles, that’s what turned me off of him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) I didn't know if #31 was real? He said he had enough parts to build 3 cars at that time,. Was the car in the back warehouse where he worked. I think he was a project manager for a building company. the car was completely disassembled and in rough condition and i didn't care for his (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) ability’s. He seamed like a very nice guy, but he (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) up teeners to put on ebay. thats where I first saw this 6er. He had some nice teeners but said they were worth more for there parts than he could get for them as cars. That Bastard (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) Also what he wanted for a shell and a bunch of parts, was what I though it would be worth finished. Sorry but you asked.
I wish you all the luck with your #31 project. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) Do all the photos and set up your Blog so we can admire your progress.
