Hello world!
I just joined the forum and thought I'd say hi. I have a '74 2.0 that I am starting to restore again. Sadly, it has been sitting for the last 5 years. It is also a sad shade of what I have been calling "disco maroon" (the previous owner did an Earl Scheib on it and picked maroon with metal glitter flakes in it) ... the good news is that it only has 65k original miles on the odometer and the frame is straight and there's hardly any rust (heh). here's the ad I put up when I was trying to sell it if anyone is curious: my old "for sale" web page I will take more pics as I go (so you can at least see that god-awful paint in all its glory). I'm sure I will be posting all sorts of questions too as this is my first "restore." like: Does anyone have a recommendation for an oil filter removal tool that works well on the 914? drive well =) -Robert |

Oil Filter wrench - AA, Pelican & PP/Automation, etc. & local FLAPS sell the cup type that fits over the end & work with the typical ratchet drive. How about taking her back to the original color, which should be the code no. in the bottom of the Karmann plate in the LF/driver-side door jamb between the hinges. |
