Hi everyone! So I started an account here to help my father rebuild his '75 914 1.8. Basically I am working on this car as a summer project in the weekends and maybe a weekday here and there if I have the time. This 914 has been garage kept for 20 years (1997) and as a 20 year anniversary it would be nice to resurrect this little guy. Here are some photos of the first day taking it out followed by washing, vacuuming, removing some exterior and flushing the fluids:    Attached thumbnail(s)
