After over 20 years of ownership, I've finally reached the decision that the 914 needs a new home. I am the second owner, purchased it from my uncle (the original owner) back in 1985. I started rebuilding her about 10 years ago, and due to alot of other stuff going on, I never finished.
The car was completely stripped down to bare metal and had genuine steel factory GT flares welded on. There's almost too much to list here, but I'll list the highlights;
Complete strip and repaint in Dupont base/clear Guards Red
Genuine Factory GT steel flares welded on
Custom made rocker panels (factory steel with 'glass flares)
Rear steel factory valence flared to match fender flares
'Glass front GT valence
Top refinished and painted
Weltmeister chassis stiffening welded on
100 lb. rear springs
Bilstein shocks/struts
Carrera struts and brakes
New ball joints
914-6 rear hubs
7 & 8 x 15" Fuchs refinished by Robert Wood
New Dunlop D40's
New Factory lug nuts and locks
New Windshield
Most trim is new
Most hardware replaced with stainless steel
Engine is stock 1.8 (I know, I know...) with dual Weber 40 IDF's, Jacobs electronic ignition and wires, 009 distributor, SSI stainless heat exchangers, Bursch exhaust.
Tranny gone through, w/ syncros and dog teeth replaced
Like I said, there's so much to list. I personally stripped this car, took it to the body shop where it lived for almost a year, brought it back and reassembled it. It is about 90% done and just needs a little more work to make it perfect. I know every last millimeter of this car and it pains me to sell it, but I don't have the time or money to finish her. With the exception of the dash being recovered and a new (not installed) carpet set, the interior is untouched, but in decent shape.
Look at the pics and tell me what you think I should ask for her. It hasn't been driven other than moving it a few times in the past ten years. The Fuchs need a mild cleaning to make them look new again, so please ignore the poor photos.
