I just picked up a 1974 1.8 (carb conversion). It has been parked in an unheated garage for about 3 years, and was supposedly running fine before that, although it wont' fire up now.
My plan is to get it running, drive it on nice summer weekends, and use the other 9 months of the year to fix it up. Never worked on a car before, so looking forward to joining the fun! I'll post some pictures as soon as I figure out how... |

I wanted one of those for my midlife crisis too, but SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) wouldnt budge. She did however, agree to this, and is hands off my 912E restore. Back on topic, CONGRATS on your find! Youre off to a great start on this site. I think a 914 is a great 'first' project car. Take your time and enjoy! Attached image(s) |
