Hey guys, what's up?
Newbie checking in; been tinkering with & racing cars for 20 years; lots of BMWs and Porsches (944, 996, 912, 911SC). My newest project is this 74 914 1.8; picked it up for $1500US. Looks like it has factory air conditioning and option wheels. From my initial look it appears complete and almost rust free; it hasn't been registered for almost 20 years, so probably hasn't run for that long either. Cool thing is the car still has the ORIGINAL purchase invoice from Forest Lane Porsche in Dallas, Texas. EFI has been replaced by some sort of carb setup. This will be my first experience with a carb engine. Any suggestions on how to get the motor going? I need to make sure it turns by hand first. Anyhow, this board looks like a wealth of knowledge and I will be reading often. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)      |
