Default Dang... I need Heat! 914 help!

My 914 has none of the parts that are required for heat. All were removed years ago and i have come to the conclusion that it is necessary for enjoying the car for more than 4 months out of the year.

Car has rotten heater boxes so will need the whole batch.

Does anyone have an exhaustive list of what is required or know of a place where all can be sourced? Would prefer not to buy new heater boxes...

Car is a 1.7L

Something like this could be a temporary alternative:

Prolly need a heavy guage wire connection to the battery. But does work. I bought something similar for my race car to help defrost the window during Feb/Mar events.

Thanks Tony... i feel that getting the heat to work would add to the resale value of the car... so gonna concentrate on the factory alternative

the down side is you eventually give in and open a window.

$1800 for heater system? Buy a rusty project 914 for that strip it and sell off or toss the rest out.

Hmmmmm, I may know someone that's going to get rid of a full 2.0 setup. If I'm not mistaken, it all bolts right up (but check with an expert to be sure). I have the fans, tubes, a bursch muffler, and SSI heater boxes.

It's all still on the car, and I was thinking of trying to sell the whole package...but may change my plans to help a local. Wouldn't want a whole 2.0 with webers setup would ya
