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!

Welcome aboard mate! Looks great and keep the pics coming. Try the ground strap for connection. I have seen these fail and not allowing enough current to turn the engine over.

I will see where I get after tomorrow. I just picked up some more straps and large gauge wire in case I need to get crafty with extra paths for current returning to the battery. |
