After finishing a 2 year frame off restoration on a 1970 Triumph GT6, I was ready for a new winter project with my friend Chris. We found this 80%? finished project near us and took the plunge.
It’s going to be a nice driver, the car is solid and mostly rust free, it’s a 1975 built in 08/74, 1.8 engine professionally rebuild to a 1.9, breathing through Weber Carbs. We’re on a steep learning curve, but I’ve always loved these cars, and we’re up for the challenge. The car was repainted, but a low quality job that needs work. The interior is tired, planning to refresh that. I’ll be looking for help from this forum as we go forward, thanks in advance. Tim ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Pretty blue!
Pedrini wheels and euros. Bumper back date. Engine/intake upgrade. Freaking nice for a starting point! Looks like you got lucky... Welcome to the menagerie! |

Very nice 914. About the car being 'rust free', with 914's, the rust is free. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Good luck with your build. There's a wealth of knowledge here on 91world both with informative threads and the current group of technologists who hang here. |

Welcome. Great color and starting point. Looks like 2 liter Fuchs and some other nice upgrades.

I'd like a closer picture of the wheels.
My first thought was Fuchs but on second glance those look like Pedrinis to me. My eyes are getting old... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) You’re going to love the 914! My first car was a TR4 and it was fun, but the 914 is an entirely different level. Roomy cabin, 2 trunks, removable top and, oh yeah, go cart handling! Enjoy.

Mine turn 75 in just over a week. After enlarging the pic on my iPad I can confirm they’re 4 lug Fuchs. Nice option. |

We'll be helpful. Some of us can't see for shit! Maybe that should be "Most"... |
