1975 Laguna Blue - 1.8, Working on my new project 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 think tonight was 4 for 5 on quick projects on the 75.

I successfully tightened up the front to back spacing on the rear bumper. Still need to adjust the left to right spacing by a 1/4 to 1/8" to the driver side.

I successfully finished up removing the old Alpine CD player and swapped in a Bluetooth enabled RetroSound radio. I'm not sure how I feel about it. May just look for the correct Blaupunkt.

I successfully fixed the stuck brakelight switch by removing the foot board and adjusting the switch a bit. This was super easy after searching here.

I successfully fixed the driver's seat tilt. Not sure how I fixed it. I just pulled the seat out and reinstalled it with the seat centered properly.

I was not successful with fixing the horn. Somehow ended up snapping the little horn wire tab off the butterfly.

Not sure how to fix it now. I guess I need to get back to prepping the rear trunk for paint.
