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!

Rear Brake Rebuild:
After watching Eric Shea's video on YouTube, I went ahead and took the plunge and bought a 914 rear brake rebuild kit from PMB Performance. Their kits are top notch and as well as their customer service. They helped me out as I also ended up needing new pistons and the internal mechanisms inside of them, as mine were too far gone. With the brake kit I also bought new hard lines for the rear from PMB. They were pre-bent and the price was right that I couldn't pass them up and put the old nasty old lines back on. I can't believe I was riding around with a caliper looking like this |
