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 took the week off to work on the 914, naturally the car didn't come back from paint as scheduled. Kind of a bummer, but what are you going to do?

Decided to clean up some old parts I had sitting, waiting to go into thw car. I have an OEM front anti-sway bar that had 50 years of grime and black paint on it, so I stripped all the ugly off of it. Started with the bar itself. Hit it with some Eastwood epoxy chassis black. All the brackets were pretty gross so I stripped them down as well. I looked into having them gold chromate plated. Decided that was going to be too much effort, so I hit them with some rustmort and a shot of cast blast (leftover from cleaning up the 66 C2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ). I will replace the hardware with new gold chromate hardware. Looking for an OEM rear bar, PM me if you have one for sale.

I will post some photos later once I can suck them off my phone and shrink em down.

Thanks for checking in!
