Actually, that's not bad at all. Check the suspension ear underneath to be sure.

Wirewheel the brown away and see what's left. Doesn't look too bad from here.

Just putting Ospho on the rust isn’t going to tell you if there’s solid metal underneath. Given how easy it is to access the area, there’s no reason to not do it right.

Do you know what brand of exhaust you have? I have the same setup on mine.

Neat project. Cool color.

I am restoring a '75 Palma Green example, original Cali car with minimal rusting. There was some hell hole work I completed and when done I used a brush on oil based enamel available from True Value. The color is reasonably close to Palma and actually still looking for Palma in single stage acrylic enamel.

Any progress with the engine? or too busy cruising in the vette

between my daughter getting married (7/22)
and my partner gone all last week,
i've been too busy and tired to do much the last couple of weeks.
i have most of this coming week off and plan to work on 914 then.

hell hole work 1st (hopefully no surprises)
then new jack support plates welded in

then will turn to the engine

on FI engines
besides new hoses
what are the essential new parts i will need to purchase?

plan new
coil, distributor cap n rotor, oil cooler seals, air intake collars
fuel pump, etc

do i need a new
MPS, fuel pressure regulator and what else?

thanks

Dave, you may need some of the FI parts, or none of them, other than gaskets, hoses and filters. It fully depends on the condition and completeness of what you have to start with. The great thing about D-jet is that each component can be tested individually, and the tests are not hard if you understand how each item functions.

Here is an excellent resource for the correct parts needed: https://members.rennlist.com/pbanders/

Your main concerns should probably focus on confirming a functional ECU, MPS, TPS, TS2, the trigger points, fuel pump, relay board, and the engine bay harnesses - FI, Ignition, and Alternator, as well as fuel injectors including the fifth injector (CSV).

Lay out what parts you have, post photos, and lets see where to go from here.

Your FI system is one of the simplest on a 914 ,it should look like this:

Doesn't look that bad from that angle but what does it look like at the jack receiver and longitudinal opposite to that?
