I'm going to get the boy to start a thread as he gets going on the resto.
In fact that is part of the sale deal, Steve (swl) wants to see the progress on his old 914.
I doubt Ethan will post many questions, he can ask dad on most stuff.

This will be at least a 3 year project, in Ontario Canada he won't get his beginers license, called a G1, until he's 16yrs/old. That's for one year he'll learn to drive in mom/dads car, licenced driver beside him. Then he gets a G2 which has certain conditions (probation) for another year, he may have his 914 on the road by then.
The 914 will be built to be his summer daily driver.

I had him take off the rockers last night, some sin on the longs to investigate and repair properly. No jack spurs, nice looking floors though.
We'll see what gets done today, mostly he has to get all these damn parts out of my way so I can work tomorrow.

Must be nice to start your first project with a fully equipped shop, complete with 2 post lift. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Going to keep it stock-ish -4, maybe MS if the injection is troublesome.

The 1.7 was running in 2011 and also came with a 2nd engine that had some rebuild work done on it but never ran. Would have to investigate what was done on it.

"Stock-ish", we all know where that path leads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Awesome Mark. He is a good looking guy, but with your avatar, I kinda expected more well, skin pigment - melanin. The pallor must come from the long Canadian nights with short sunlight periods. Honest, I thought you was the same person for a long time, tll I learned that one of you lives in Texas and you don't. I don't follow sports.

He looks the man, and I bet you couldn't be prouder. Get him on the world so he stays with a decent, well pretty good, crowd on line.

How cool is this? A second young Ethan, with a smile and a 914. I dig it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Ethan!

914s make great first cars, and can take you far. Just ask Jeff Zwart.

Hi guys


Just remember one thing: you can't turbo a 914.

No turbos...maybe a /6 one day. I do have a good 2.7 core. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
