I have acquired a 914-2.0 from my father which I believe is a model from 74. Its been garaged for 15 years and hasnt been started since. Its currently blocked in and covered with a bunch of old garage junk. Where is a good shop in the Bay Area to get this car road worthy? What is a guesstimate on costs? I would like to maybe drive the car next summer.
Problem areas I saw include: Battery box rusted and area around it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Leaky battery removed 14 years ago. Sticky creeking pedals Grinding shifter Passenger exterior door handle broke and removed. Also maybe a smaller steering wheel for a six footer? The shift lever hits the knee. Ill try and have pictures at a later date once the garage has been cleaned out. Thanks |

Hello and welcome
A lot of the prestarting stuff you can do yourself: Drain the old gas, change the oil and filter, replace fuel filter, pull the fuses and clean the contact points in the fuse holder, pull the plugs and squirt some light oil in the cyl. Buy a Optima battery. There are articles on repairing the pedal cluster. Check the trans for fluid levels and replace it with Swepco. Ask in the classifieds for a handle. As to a shop...not sure, but someone will have an idea. Post some pictures of your car. |
