Hey guys. Tonight I put a deposit on my first project car, a 1975 914 2.0. The car has 65,000 original miles with some surface rust and rot on the rear quarter.
The car has been sitting for 3 years without being cranked. Supposedly it ran before it was parked. My first concern is to get running so I can enjoy it a bit. What steps do you recommend on waking this sleeping car up? I'm thinking change the oil, drain the old gas, new battery, plugs and wires. What else? I look forward to all of your advice. I am very much over my head, so this will be a real learning experience. Attached image(s) |

This is a good question. And I don't know the answer.
I know of a 914 that wasn't running two years ago. The owner figured that, because it is fuel injected, it must be the fuel pump. He removed the pump, bought a new one, never installed it. So, the car has been sitting in an unheated storage garage in Michigan (zero degrees lately) with no fuel pump and hasn't started for two years. I will have a chance to see the car in May when the owner returns from FLA. So, how do you approach the vehicle? Betcha there's a thread on this... biz |
