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: Attached thumbnail(s) |

Everything went ok until we ran into some issues with the brake system. Turns out we installed it wrong because the little nipple that goes in the cylinder did not go in.
We thought it would be simple to install without removing the foot board but obviously that was not the case (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So we installed and removed the cylinder after 2 times. Trying to install those annoying lines on the reservoir....just a pain the ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif). I would rather get kicked in the groin by Dr. Porsche than to deal with that again. After everything was installed and bled the lines the brake system is still not working. Feels like some vacuum issue because the fluid isnt running when pumping the brakes. Maybe the nipple needs to be adjusted to active the cylinder when you press the pedal. So new master cylinder test was unsuccessful. Try again next weekend when I have more time. -Ed |
