Newbie on the 914 board - just bought a '74 2.0 from my uncle (who bought the car new). It's actually in transit from Florida and supposed to arrive tomorrow. In anticipation of its arrival (and my desire to get it on the road asap) I'm looking for some guidance.
The car's been sitting. He started it monthly and let the oil come to temp but other than moving onto the transporter it's really not been run much. I'm planning to change the oil right away and probably flushing brake fluid, inspecting pads, and replacing ignition parts in the next couple weeks. Anything else I should be aware of? I'm not unfamiliar with VW engines but it's been awhile and never owned a 914 (though lusted for years!). Thanks in advance. Aaron in Indianapolis |
