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 |

Welcome. I am going through your same experience. I just got a 2.0 914 that was last registered in 1989! It took us about 3 weeks of constantly changing parts just to get it to fire up and Idle. Of course, there are other problems being found, like it smokes as bad as a forest fire, the master cylinder leaks, ect. But at least my clock works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) Oh, and get new rubbers on those tires! Make sure if you have steel rims, that they are not rusted so bad that you cant put another tire back on (as I found out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) Good luck.
