Howdy,
I just bought my first 914 this past Saturday. Had a nice drive back from Ohio to Maryland with it, got about 30 mpg at "highway" speeds. It's a '73 1.7, and it's pretty original. Still running the stock fuel injection. It has a few issues, mostly minor, the biggest one is that the first gear synchro is shot. I just sent Dr. Evil a PM to order his 901 rebuild DVD. My plan is to fix as many of the issues as I can in my spare time, and just drive it around and enjoy it. I think the synchro is going to be the first "big" project. Then, I'll work on adding heat and maybe swaybars over time. Anyways, here are a couple of pics the previous owner took. Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) That is a very original looking 914. Take your time and address any issues one at a time so your car does not find itself on jack stands for a prolonged period of time. They seem to like being on jack stands for some reason....

Excellent suggestion. I definitely want to avoid any extended bout of jackstand-itis. |
