Hi,
My wife & I have 2 914's, one a 70' & the other a 76'. We are new to this and are looking for any advice, etc on doing these projects. Appreciate & look forward to hearing & reviewing all ideas, suggestions, etc.
Thanks,
Mike & Theresa
Full Version: Looking for Ideas
Post some pictures of the cars, that will help us to get an idea where you guys are at.
Wonderfully worthwhile, simple, great driving, valuable, convertible, good gas mileage, spacious interior, easy to find parts, great support system and aftermarket resources, restoration of the 914 is the rage these days, AND having one of the first year and one of the last year is a great pair. I PERSONALLY like the 76 models the best as they had all of the subtile factory improvements, they were the last of the breed, and the rarest of all of the four cylinders except for the limited edition models

You'll find everything you need here. If you're doing full restorations, start by stripping everything off the chassis and repair the rust.
If you're just trying to get them running, rebuild the brakes and then work on getting the engine to run right.
My advice? Get one running to drive and enjoy, then dig in big time on the second one.
When you can, post some pic's of your two teeners.
Cool - a hubby & wife team doing a matching set - of sorts! 
Tom T...I know a Tom T. Are you in the insulation business by any chance, works out of office in Chino? Thanks and will update with pics Saturday

suggestion: stock is pretty.
Even the big bumpers aren't bad to me anymore.

The first thing you need to do is buy his and hers jackstands
and if you need some help offering beer and BBQ always seems to bring lots of helping hands to the garage door. Pizza and beer works too
