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

tunnel fuel lines.

fun job ------not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

but every 914 needs it done by now.
esp if you are running with a fuel pump up front like all the 75s did (and other years subsequently by owners). thats pressurized fuel you are running through your cabin with you. suspect porsche did plastic lines for purposes of collision forces.

4 axle stands required. or hoist if you so fortunate as to have one.
think there are some threads around here on the tricks to manouvre the lines through.
i did it before i found this website. and boy did it send me screwy - but i also bent up my own lines (had to - mine is rhd the left hand drives are different at top of tunnel.).
but i got it done and have peace of mind these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

by the way thats the only thing i am not sure about with ss lines. less likely to bend if you had the misfortune to crash. i bent mine up out of brake fluid tubing.
