I just purchased a 72 914 from the original owner. Car has had a repaint, the interior is pretty rough, and it basically need to be restored. I am pretty familiar with old VWs ive restored and still own two old beetles. Im sure these cars have there querks alot like VWs. First this car runs strong ,starts and idles fine ,doesnt smoke and appears well maintained and stock besides a set of 40 Dellorotos. The first thing i noticed is the gas pedal. It works but moves side to side and would be kinda scary to drive. I've had VW pedals rebuilt before but after i saw the exploded view of the 914 i almost choked! Second the shifter has LOTS of play from side to side but the actual trans seems to shick ok if you find the gears. I'm sure the shifter bushings need replacing and also the shifter should be adjusted. Also where is a good reliable aftermarket source for repair parts on the 914. i've already adjusted to the sticker shock compared to bug parts! Any help would be appreciated
