Car is a "diamond in the rough". All original, no rust found yet. Irish green/tan (factory paint) without appearance group (no sail vinyl or chrome bumpers). I'll post some "before" pics soon. At my speed it will take a couple of months to do the detail work it needs.
Interesting history. PO bought it new in St. Louis while in graduate school after army duty. Became an overseas US teacher (shop) and took the car while teaching 4 years in Panama Canal Zone in early '70's. Has "turista" stickers from several Central American countries because he and wife drove it back to the states from there. After that it remained state side as he did 17 years in Saudi Arabia and most recently Camaroon. They came home every summer and that's when the car was driven. Has only 111K miles. He just retired and decided he wanted to replace it with a Boxster.

That is a great story. I hope you can manage to keep the stickers in place and in pristine condition...its what gives these cars a history...

I friend of mine if finishing up a 356A that has a similar world travel history.
To bad all the stickers are gone, but he did snag a great vintage suit case to put on the rear lugggage rack that has alot of the same stickers, and he is buying stickers as he can find them to complete the "story" of the car...

So cool where these cars have been and the things they have seen...

Couple of the oil tank holes drilled. Those who know, there are 2 left to go. Very clean 914, really nice engine bay. It'll get all cleaned up etc...

Couple more quick updates, the damage to the clutch tube on the trans was pretty bad.

I couldn't pull the tube out of the throw out bearing because it mushroomed. Yikes....

Oil tank in. Engine bay is really clean and did a little painting underside just as a PM. As soon as I can get the RJ mount, the engine trans will get hung and the little stuff can start getting hooked back up.

I so can't wait! And I'm so glad I went this route, with Dan going over everything to make sure all is right.

Anyone have a complete Motronic FI setup for a 3.2? Can't hurt to ask, right? OK, I'll go post in the WTB/classifieds section... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Mucho thanks, parts of the project have been pretty laborous but fun! Glad to be able to sort some things out. My plan if parts arrive in time is to have Duc's 914 on the road by next weekend.

Probably about the worst picture ever, but the RJ mount is in, paint drying for the night.

T.C. - The BB headers made it today just fine. Thanks for boxing everything up so nice. So this 914-6 will now have heat!
