Best of luck with your build! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

This should be entertaining to read and end up a cool car.

No that's what I keep telling Racer Chris. She is still going to be air cooled. Now the other car well that's a different story.


What the F is that motor then - a 2.4 or 2.7 flat-6 Porsche air cooled? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

A 2.2 liter 4 cylinder air cooled. Same engine that those who drove it know it's pull. I need to bring it back, I don't like not having a running car. Ambitious that depends. Ever ride shotgun in a 914? I did and did not enjoy it. Driver was a great guy.

LOL That's only cuz I kept stalling your 914 Baby - between it's stiff gas linkage, my big running shoe's sole catching on the center console .... oh, & mostly due to my not having driven my own nor any 914 for a quarter of a century! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Good choice! The 2.2 & the Raby 2270's etc. can be set up with as much HP as the 70s flat-6's - but without the added weight of the extra bank of cylinders.

I'm guessing carbed, but watch out for the PMOs - ask Dave W./toolguy on here before you look at them, if you're considering PMOs.

Hey Andy -

I resemble that remark by Paul ... he & I are both "another 914 owner" .... or are we just dog meat unless we (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) our own 914s to your house!> (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

.... for me, not a likely chance of doing a sunny SoCal to Frostbite Falls NY in my 73! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) ya!

Apparently Michael has been out in sunny NTC all this time - just got a text this past weekend that he's leaving CA for Carson! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) He thought it would only be 2 weeks.

PS - Tip: get some zinc primer rattle cans (Wurth, Eastwood, etc.) & flash coat the bare metal anytime it's going to sit for more thean 12-24 hours - especially back there in the high humidity, to prevent that surface rusting after you've taken off the paint to bare metal in areas. That stuff can stay on with the repaint, be welded through it, or quickly sanded off or sode/media blasted if need be - but in the meantime you won't get all that rust restarting. I did that with the pair of early-beamless `73 doors I got from Beach914 a while back, the PO before him had sanded them & left them to rust, so I sanded off the surface rust & Wurth zinc primed them til the can be worked on with the rest of the body work, so far good for 2+ years! The zinc goes sacrificial to oxidation, instead of the steel to rust!

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Right Andy, so just paint an "Open for Lunch" sign on it to invite the tin worms in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, the answer is that's it's worth more painted the original color, a bit less if color changed to OE silver for 75, & not much as a bare metal clear coated rebel 914. Women understand value, even if not the car hobby.

IMHO, it was just a hint to stop playing with your car so much & come inside honey! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
