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

Updates... we got updates.

My buddy finished painting the rear fenders and the trunk! I only have photos from while he was in the middle of laying down the color. Both rear corners of the fenders are all cleaned up! They had years of door dings and horribly applied 'touch up' paint. The passenger fender had a pretty good ding from where someone dropped something on it, all of that is gone. The passenger rear corner had an old repair that wasn't fixed properly, the rust has dug out and the repair was done right. The trunk is FINALLY free of the 8 holes from where I removed the spoiler. This will make it 'better' but not perfect. After I retire I can spend the time to blow it apart and paint the whole car.

And on to the reason why you're all here, the photos!










Thanks for checkin in! This weekend I will bite the bullet and dig into installing the PILE of parts I have ordered while the car has been in body shop jail. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
