Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I'm actually new to 914's too. My future brother inlaw has a 1974 914, that is not running. I'm not sure what the problem is but I'm really looking forward to working on it. and knowing that it is a VW motor the parts will come really cheap. I will post pictures of the car and the work, because I will need help on fixing the car. Its in really good condition.

Its his mother's car who is no longer around and wants to keep it but does not have time to work on it.

If anyone is in the San Diego area, Id love to meet up and talk about the car.

Looking forward to starting and finishing this project.

I wouldn't count on that, but

Not sure if I would say all the parts are cheap, but you will get a lot of great help here.

Help will be easier to give if the board knows what they're helping with. Post details about engine size and induction system as a 74 could be either 1.8L or 2L and induction could be stock EFI or carbs. Good luck and you'll get plenty of good help here and probably plenty of good natured humor.

There's a good amount of 914 owners in San Diego county, you should have no trouble getting help.

Try these guys. And http://www.sdautosport.com/

i'm busy all weekend and out of town next week. but i will prolly get a chance to start messing with it in a week or two. not sure if its a 1.8 or 2.0L but he changed it from fuel injected back to carb...because it was easier to start the vehicle that way.

Oh boy ...

I hope he saved the FI stuff so we can help you getting that back on and running.
