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

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

Thank you for the info on the canister bracket, I'll add it to the list of projects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Okay, so I've looked at maybe 20 914s in person and none of them have had a grommet in these two holes, is there a grommet that goes in these holes? What should be there? It feels like there should be something to cap off that big open hole. I looked at 914rubber.com and couldn't find anything specific.





Thanks
Ted
