After working out a deal with Craig at Camp914 I borrowed a trailer and drove down to Portland and back yesterday with this 75 1.8. I think this is going to be a more solid foundation for my project than the last one I looked at.
Craig was excellent to work with and a wealth of information, I also bought some chrome bumpers that will eventually replace those rubber impact items. Figured I should just pick them up now and save myself the shipping hastles from somewhere later. I should have one of the other cars out of my garage in a week or so and then I will get this car up in the air and post some questions, although the car is in pretty good shape there are a couple of areas that need attention but it is a 30 year old car. Engine needs attention but that is on the list of things I had planned on doing anyway. Just let you guys know this forum has been great for gaining knowledge for a newbie. Cheers Chris    |

That car is very nice looking on the outside, and it looks like there are a lot of nice parts there, but I hope you didn't pay premo price for that car, at least not more that the sum of the parts. If you are not emotionally attached to it, it may be worthwile looking for a good roller. I would fix that car if it was mine, and the paint was perfect (it looks perfect in the photos), meaning that it doesn't need to go into the autobody shop anyways, and been in the family a long time. In other words, compare the price of a roller+paint/body to fixin your car. But 914's are cheap and plentiful, at least rollers. Does anyone know if "rocker clamshells" could be a solution here?
