Hi everyone.
I just bought my first 914 (I'm a 911 guy) Its a 1975 914 2.0 Laguna Blue. it has 139k miles,all books and records and I am the 3rd owner. It had a bad fuel pump relay,luckily.or the very bad gas in the tank may have been pumped thru.... I have the tank out being cleaned,while I wait for new fuel hose,filters and misc parts. heres a pic as found,a real "Car-Port Find" |

Update: Steering wheel slop fixed by replacing "upper steering shaft bearing"-$41. New gas pedal fixed the "wobbly pedal" She's feeling much better on the road. Up next: Upper dash pad,vynal & padding + dash to windsheild seal. I am really loving this subject as I have a 75 2.0 Lagun Blue, I haven't figured out how to post pictures yet(any help would be appreciated) but mine is running and almost roadworthy after sitting quite awhile! |

Also may ask what point you are jacking your car at? That looks a little risky. |

jacked the front under the front beam,placed custom made jack-stands that fit into factory holes,then jacked engine and used jack stands,kept jack under motor for peace of mind. Just went for a nice drive,the heater works very well.....: ) God I wish I had those fog lights! |
