I recently was given a 1974 914 when my father in law passed away. I'm not really sure what I have. By researching the vin #4742908879 and motor code EC005-4 I determined it is a 1974 w/1.8 motor. The paint code is L99A but is now painted white. I'm trying to understand if it's worth a long term project? I have not had a chance to really go through the car yet. An information or opinions (oh Boy) will be appreciated.
Pictures would be helpful.
We can tell a lot by looking in the trunks, floor pan, under the batter, underneath, engine compartment, exterior as a whole, etc.
This is like emailing a jeweler for an appraisal of your mother's diamond ring without photos or any further info.
There are thousands of 1974 1.8L cars made. Many still on the road, many owned by members here, and many worth restoring.
We need to SEE it give some better guidance.
