This '75 is my second 914, the first was a '72 that was great while it lasted. I bought both rust free cars in New Mexico and was fortunate enough to gather several loads of parts over the years. This '75 is a general conglomeration of things like put together on a 914.
I found an ad on Craigslist posted by an American Muscle Car guy who was threatening to scrap the 1.8L 914 after running the ad several times with no takers. I got it for $500 plus it came with fender flares that were never installed. Attached image(s)

Wow...great score. Looks like both may be buildable projects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hi, yes, I'm glad to have had them and they've been fun projects. I got a lot of projects done over the years and often times these had to take a back seat. These pics were taken several years ago.... I was able to get my old laptop up and running so I'm grabbing everything I can before it goes caput again. |

There was a bit of time between the pics in the last post and this one where I wasn't able to move forward on this project. Not having a garage at the time, it was a bit of a race to get the metal protected.

Does the conduit that the clutch cable goes through in the tunnel only get held in place by the same type of flimsy metal strapping that is used to hold wires in place?

Those more knowledgeable than me will hopefully chime in, but the short answer is no. Lots of threads on repairing the brackets that hold it in place. This is a notorious point of failure that thankfully I haven't had to deal with yet. This thread might be helpful:
