my 1972 914 is a "clean slate". it needs work and i was hoping i could get some ideas on wut to do with it. i havent done anything to it other than figure out some problems it has. if you all can help i would apreciate some ideas.

Check out the Build Threads forum. Best place to start is looking at what other people have done.

I found a lot of inspiration looking through the Member's 914 Photos thread... for hours.

In the end, I decided my car was already bastardized too much to go for Concours, factory-perfect... so I'm going with very original look to the exterior (only visible change from factory is Euro taillights and the Manta exhaust that I'll someday replace), while making some modest performance/safety upgrades to things that don't change the appearance.

Keep it stock.
