As you might have seen elsewhere on this site and others, I just bought my fourth 914, this time a well preserved 1974 Olympic Blue, that has been in storage for over 20 years.
So first, this is an open invite for anyone near La Quinta CA to come by and see it anytime you like. And second, a call out for any advice or help to put this car back to dealer showroom condition. Also, what shows I should consider entering once she is complete. One of my first dilemnas is the side stripes. Were these dealer added? or factory? Should I leave the slightly worn originals in place?, replace them with repros, or remove altogether?? Randy |

I'm pretty sure the towel wasn't OE Randy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I ended up using either F or R trunk for my tool kit (still in plastic pouch btw), depending upon how I was packing the car for a trip, etc. I usually found the rear with the jack more convenient otherwise. Manual pic will show it for your 74, my 73 manual might be different, so I didn't look for you. You can also look here for proper 74 MY tool kit contents & other OE fitment info - http://www.p914.com/p914_tools.htm http://www.p914.com/ http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/ http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/TechNotebook.htm http://www.bowlsby.net/914/CanAm/ (some useful 74 MY info, even for your 1.8) These will be great resto resources for you in a number of areas, as well as the 914 info section on here. |
