914, 1974 Le #4742914700

Not yet completed, but mechanically done. Body is done, but interior is not yet in, and exterior trim and bumpers are not yet on. The car is all new or rebuilt parts, and is perfect. Just wanted to share some pics with you guys, and let you see what kind of work we do here.

FYI - The car will be ready for sale within the month.

Everything looks great except those KYB's which suck as shocks. OEM Boge's are way better.

Photo server was down today for a bit, and I was pulling the engine out of an E, so I will get you guys some more photos tomorrow.

I personally like KYB's better than Boge, but to each his own...

Looks very nice! You are to be commended. I have 1974 2.0 4742906081. This car has 52K one owner miles. Hope to do something similar to what you did. I have a complete understanding for what you have accomplished, since I have done this to two other cars, 68 TR-250, 88 VW Cab. Every nut bolt, screw, washer removed, VW converted from Auto to manual, wiring harness repaired in both cars, rotted frame repaired in TR.

Hope you achieve your financial goal.

I agree....most people that like KYB's have never driven a car with "real" shocks to be able to tell the difference..."oh, the car is stiff, it must handle good" is not always reality

other than that, damn clean looking car...one of these days mine will look somewhat like that...

Looks really sharp. What's with the snow tires? What kind of undercoating did you use on it?

Not permanent tires on there right now. The wheels aren't even on the car right now. Those are just some rollers for getting it around the shop. I'll let you know tomorrow the type of undercoating...
