Hey All!
I just traded my 1970 Ghia for Arizona '73 2 liter. I wanted a 914 since I was a kid and am overjoyed to finally get to call one mine! The last two weeks since I got it has been baselining the mechanical and electrical systems to get it into a drivable state. Things I've done so far:
It pretty quickly needs tires and alignment, new interior door handles, wiper blades Next it needs headlight motor debug, new body seals and weatherstripping all around and eventually paint (its primered at the moment) and a new interior Stoked, as rust seems to be non existent and the 2 liter has about 200 miles on it. PO set it up with a single carb, which works OK, but from what I read could certainly benefit from an upgrade. Any recommendations on where to look for sourcing an affordable option? Thanks!

Congratulations! Great car to start with. I would definitely try to find out what cam is in the engine and if it is a stock cam or one that will play nicely with the factory fuel injection, that is the way to go. Get it running and driving perfectly and collect all of the stuff you will need for the cosmetics when the time does. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
