Customer Cars: Dave McKenna's 1976 914

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 5:28 PM

We love seeing what exciting projects our customers are currently working on. Every month we would like to showcase a couple of cars in whatever state they are in - on the road or on the rack.


This month's submission comes from Dave McKenna with his 1976 914. The car was a barn find that Dave came across and bought in 2015 and just recently became roadworthy.



At the time it had no transmission, no floor pan, and the engine was disassembled and spread out across several boxes of parts. He did a bare metal restoration on a rotisserie that took 5 1/2 years to complete. The 2.0 L engine was rebuilt with all new components from LNENGINEERING and now sits at 2563 cc @ 195 hp. Between the new engine and all the new seals from 914Rubber it's like driving a brand new car according to Dave, and is a blast to drive.


 


Talk about a one of a kind car, thanks for the awesome submission Dave!

Sometimes images speak louder than words and that's exactly the case with this month's submission from Thomas Trocmet. Thomas has just finished the restoration of his European 914 and sent several photos highlighting the meticulous care and prep that went into his build.

This month's customer car story comes from Michael Pavonetti and his barn-find 914!

The car was parked under a shed where it sat for 14 years prior to Michael becoming the owner. It was last registered in 2007.

After taking it back to his shop, Michael was able to get the car cleaned up and tore into it. With a bit of work and troubleshooting, he was able to revive the engine and get the car running.

Now Michael's car stands ready to take on the Texan roads once again. Thanks for breathing new life into another 914 and thanks for the great submission Michael!
