Hey guys. Tonight I put a deposit on my first project car, a 1975 914 2.0. The car has 65,000 original miles with some surface rust and rot on the rear quarter.
The car has been sitting for 3 years without being cranked. Supposedly it ran before it was parked. My first concern is to get running so I can enjoy it a bit. What steps do you recommend on waking this sleeping car up? I'm thinking change the oil, drain the old gas, new battery, plugs and wires. What else? I look forward to all of your advice. I am very much over my head, so this will be a real learning experience. Attached image(s)
