New 914 owner, FSM Options

[Bry]

I just purchased this beauty for $500 and am excited to start working on it. I have owned 944's and 924's in the past but this is my first 914. Does anyone know where I can download a Factory Shop Manual? The car has been sitting for approx 10 years so any advice on what to do prior to trying to start the car would be helpful. I will be pulling the plugs and injecting some oil into the cylinders before I try to crank it over by hand. Anything else? Thanks.

PM send for factory manual.
Those are some fat tires and wheels on the back. Does it have an engine that will spin them?
Check all fuel lines and replace as needed Start with the tank back. They rot out with age and heat and can cause a fire if one in the engine compartment leaks onto the heat exchangers.
I am in CA and have tons of parts for these cars.

It has the 1.8L so not sure how it will do with the fat tires. Will have to wait and see once it's on the road.
