I am considering getting into the 914 thing. I currently am rebuilding a 1989 Jeep Cherokee significant rust etc. etc. etc. My question is how much more difficult is it to maintain a 914? I am ok mechanially and was wondering if I could maintain a 914, I would love to learn about it and you guys seem to have a lot of information to dispose. Thanks in advance.

My only previous experience was a 68 Baja bug in High school that I picked up and drove for two years. 10 years later, I bought my 72 914. Once I got over the Fuel Injection fears, the car is pretty simple to maintain. You can do it. Also costs... I picked up a non-running beater, invested $400 in tires, $200 in parts and $1000 in tools and have a running machine (Don't know how well yet..) Still need suspension and paint and body which is where the real expense is (I think). This board is invaluable.
Good luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
