Shaun looked like he was having waaaaay to much legal fun bringing back that 928, that I thought maybe I could give it a try .
1973 1.7. Is it rusty? fuggetabout it. of course . Actually structurally , it has been patched up . Some pretty decent fab work done to longitudals, and floor pan . But whoever patched up the hell hole area, and suspension console, looks like they may have been learning to stick weld for the first time. It is all solid, just very ugly work. Paint is acceptable for a beater driver, some bubbling here and there , but overall, not that bad
I did a ton of work to this car a few years back, it runs really well, but needs shifter bushings, and a few oil leaks looked at. Also feels like the clutch may be near the end.
I've got a darn cold, worked all day, and am generally feeling pretty crappy right now, but if I can pull myself together , I'm going to run up there tonight and teach Fred IV ( my son ) how to replace shifter bushings on a 914.
I've always wanted one, a almost pulled the trigger so many times, over the years, but never did.
My good buddy Jay gave me this for a bunch of service work we are going to do on his beautiful 944 turbo over the winter . He has been threatening to drag it over to me for months now, and finally did today .
I like it ....
I always said that my ultimate dream autox hill climb car would be a hot rod 914.
Talk me down please .
