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!

Now that the back end was complete, it was time to tackle the front end suspension...
This is what I started with New powder coated control arms. I bought these two years ago when I started my resto. What i didn't do is realize that I bought a set that didn't have the tabs for the front sway bar. So again i and to jump on the net and order a U-Tab kiys from Pelican to complete the install. Also installed a new set of polygraphite bushings, and turbo tie rods. front struts refurbished and powder coated with new KYB struts installed front wells with a fresh undercoating rebuilt from brakes, kit courtesy of the guys up at PMB Final assembly, with brakes calipers mounted, new Zimmerman rotors and new brake lines...the Works! |
