1975 Laguna Blue - 1.8, Collection of work on my 1975 914 1.8 Options

[TRP]

Hello 914 World!

I just picked up my first 914 on Friday, August 8th, 2025. I have wanted a 914 for many years, came close to buying some needy projects in the past, but always seemed to pass for one reason or another. After a ton of looking around I finally found a good candidate for my next project.






The car was being auctioned off on Bring A Trailer but it did not meet reserve. The car was located about 45 minutes from my house so I ended up working out a deal a few days after the auction expired.

Here is how the car looked back in 2019 when it first sold on BAT:


Kind of interesting to see how it changed over the years.

Thanks for tuning in,
Ted

I noticed some odd damage to the these two lines/cables while I was cleaning the underside/motor/trans, it looks like the cable insulation has completed melted off in a few places.

After cleaning the motor:
