Just bought a fairly original 75, 75 restoration / history Options

[Type 47]

Except for a short absence from 1989-1995 I've owned a 914 (7) since 1977. I've had a 1974 modded 914 and a parts car for a while but took apart the 74 about 3 years ago...This week end I bought a 75 2.0 that was owned by the 2nd owner for the last 29 years and is an excellent 'survivor".

A 914 was my daily driver from1977 to 1988 and at some point I considered myself a semi expert on 914's but since then I've diverted my automotive attention to other more current automotive technologies and now I would consider myself more than moderately informed about the 914 but very eager to get back to knowing more...with the help of the experts here.

The new 914 is in such good survivor shape that I don't know if I should just keep it the way it is or do a full resto on it. It's got some light surface rust in places and a small dent on the drivers door...some othe little issues, but damn most everything works and nothing has been unbolted from the car, from the factory, except the fuel injection (replaced by twin Webbers) and the original wheels are gone.
