Hi everyone! So I started an account here to help my father rebuild his '75 914 1.8. Basically I am working on this car as a summer project in the weekends and maybe a weekday here and there if I have the time.

This 914 has been garage kept for 20 years (1997) and as a 20 year anniversary it would be nice to resurrect this little guy.

Here are some photos of the first day taking it out followed by washing, vacuuming, removing some exterior and flushing the fluids:

Quickie update. Got the fluids in and now the fuel tank needs a quick removal of some surface rust and a fresh coat of paint:. If you want to buy a cheap pump for tranny oil changes go with the new red fluid pump at China freight.
