Hello everyone!
I am a new member, and this is my first post..
I have inherited a '75 914 1.8 4 cylinder in canary yellow.
I am just starting out with the restoration.
The car has not been driven for seven years. It was garaged on the Oregon coast, and has only mild surface rust.
I have removed all of the interior and there are no major body issues.
I bought all new tune up parts, drained the tank, and replaced fluids.
It fires off, but will only run for a few seconds. I have a second built engine on a stand as well as other parts.
The fuel pump seems fine. My father made some modifications to the engine, which I have not yet sorted out.
I have his Haynes manual for the car.
I have it on my 18' tilt deck trailer.
I am wondering if any forum members in my area could recommend a good mechanic in the greater Seattle area.
Thanks.
