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) |

yep, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)
be sure to use the Porsche High Pressure Fuel line to replace crappy leaky ones laying on top of the engine. If they leak, a fire is sure to be next. If its anywhere mice are, pull the cylinder tin off as they will nest inside there and you will overheat the motor. This way you get to replace all the other intake seals etc so it will run right.
