Nice 914! My first car was a 914, and every car I have had after it just hasn't been the same. It looks like a solid car! Do you have any pictures of the engine? Also how is the hell hole, and rocker panels on it?

Mines a 72 with a 2.4l TIV turbo.

No engine pics but it's a 1.7 and doesn't have much rust. Theres a little bit bubbling up on the passenger fender and drives door and a little bit on the rockers besides that it's pretty rust free.

But what about the "Hell hole"? I have seen many "pretty nice" 914's that I wouldn't ever even drive because they were so bad. What are your plans for it?

I believe its fine. Im just going to clean it up and restore it a bit. A flat six later down the road perhaps.

Full STI swap.


Don't get me wrong I love the sound of a six, but I think a full Subaru drivetrain swap is the better choice. If I didn't stumble upon my current motor I would've been in the process of a Subaru swap. Either I will get bored of the current motor or blow it up, and then have a good reason to progress onto something new.
