Steve I called and gave them the correct shipping address here in Knoxville.

Those are some killer parts. I guess we have to put the car back together now!


LOL!!! I thought Darren's call to me today questioning the sudden change of shipping address was strange!!! When it comes back from blast, we can reassemble into a solid roller and get it ready to take to Robert in Knoxville! I am so pumped right now!!

I you get time this week think about the other parts you may need to get it rolling.

I will grab you a right upper engine tin, the window parts, tail lights, head light buckets,and a few others.

Need to think about exhaust. You will need a fairly free flowing exhaust but I would try to get one that has heat exchangers. I have a dual Monza muffler for a 2.0. Not the best but it might get you by until you decide on a performance muffler.

Yep, you are right! I'm gonna email you the list I'm putting together of stuff I have not bought, but need to. Feel free to add anything you see that needs to be!

So you decided to rebuild and upgrade your engine after all? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Is Blizzard doing it for you in Knoxville? You'll be driving before you know it.

Looks like you're doing a great job with your re-build. I came in looking to see if anybody had a recommendation on where to get 1.7L Heads (mine are finally shot), but I see that you are going way beyond what I am able to do.
I've owned my '72 1.7L since 1982 and it is my constant project (very fun project). One thing that I did about 20 years ago with my first engine rebuild was that I hard all the engine sheet metal bead blasted, zinc plated, and powder coated. The zinc plating keeps the rust away. I chose white powder coating and it really lightens up the engine compartment when everything is back in the car. Here are a couple of pictures.

I have a set of 1.7L heads that came off of my car if you want them. If you are looing for something newer, I bought my new heads from DRD Racing Heads: http://drdracingheads.com/

Another major step today, got my transmission back from Dr. Evil! Can't wait to bolt it on! A little more time and few more $, but that's the 914 way I guess!

Thanks for the tip on DRD Heads. I'll keep that link for future reference, but I was looking for stock 1.7 heads for 90mm bore cylinders. I've since found some through my local VW shop. It was good to see that DRD advertises that they use AMC castings because that is what I got from my local shop.
