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) |

Quick update from last weekend. I installed the dash panel and glovebox. I need to fab a radio delete plate.
Got a turn lever from Sierra Madre. Nice, but they did not fix the dent right. No one would really notice it unless you are a concourse judge, but the owner does. I need to talk to Jorge about it... Now I need to figure out why the tach lights and speedometer are not working. I had the tach lights working but then when I re-installed the gauge panel and screwed the speedo sensor the thing stopped working. Also, more electrical issues. Fuse# 1 is not working. Fuse is good but not getting a signal. Any suggestions let me know fellas, thanks. |
