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.

so after spending an weekend getting intimate with trying to figure out what is going on with this car so i can try and get it running, im slowly piecing some of the main engine bits back together and establish a starting point. unfortunately right now i need this to be a running project. I had it turning over very slowly on the started that was in it and i picked up a new one and put it in but it wont turn over at all now. unfortunately it got dark right as i finished up so i dont have time to mess with the car till tuesday...any ideas or advice at this point. then next on the table is trying to setp fuel lines and hoses in the engine compartment which im still working on unnderstanding.
