This thread is going to document my restoration of my '76 which I picked up about a year ago. This vehicle lived its life in southern California and was in relatively good shape compared to a lot of 914's I have seen for sale. The restoration I am doing is not going to be a full 100% nut and bolt concurs rest, but one to bring the car back so I can enjoy it as a driver. I originally started the work back in September, don't know why I didn't start documenting then, I have learned so much from others who have posted their work on here, so all I can hope is that I return the favor to someone else. The first series of post and photos will be to get everyone caught up to where I am now...below is my wife posing with the new member of the family!

So I have a lot of catching up to do, as my schedule has been really busy between work and going to school, I really haven't had to the time to document things as extensively as I wanted. Also my time line to get the car re-assembled has increased greatly. I got word last month that I am going to Aviano Italy for my next assignment and I have to be there by the end of November. That gives me roughly 7 months to get things in order, but definitely would like to get things together a lot sooner so I could enjoy the car for a little bit before I put it in storage for the next four years.
Here is where I left off. car is back from paint...again not a total nut and bolt restoration, but a nice 'refurbishment'.... The front valance wasn't removed as I specified (should have done it myself) and therefore was shot body color. It was pretty beat up anyways and I will more than likely order a new one |
