So I met with a man last week and put down some money on 1972 1.7L 914. the body is in excellent shape, all the carpet was removed which made it easy to see any ares that could have been reusted out. minor rust in the lower crease in the rear trunk. the battery compartment and under the batttery. He told me it won't start due to a starter issue. the injectors, plugs and wires are all new. also has brand new empi wheels and tires. I'm picking up the car on friday and plan on spending most my weekend on getting this car running again. So im sure i will be spending alot of time researching possible starting issues and cleaning fuel lines.
