I have been playing with VW Sandrails for about twenty years. Was setting up to build a mid-engine dual port rail this winter when I stumbled upon a type four 1.7L located twenty miles from my house. With the mid engine I wanted the engine cooling air inlet on the alternator pulley side. I contacted the seller and he asked me if I wanted the transaxle too.
The donor car was a 1973 914 setup for autocross with no title. I ended up with the engine, transaxle, rear brakes, shifter, starter, trailing arms, and all four tires for what I sold my old VW sand rail. (pictures attached) I know it's sacrilegious to part out a good car for a tube chassis rail but I am stoked! I will be lurking about, there are a few widgets bolted to the 914 transaxle that I am curious what they are.     |
