Just got my '74 1.8 Liter back from the mechanic and it's running! Had been sitting on my father in law's property in Auburn, CA for 4 years. Previous guy hauled it back from Colorado and then never got around to restoring it. Only problem is CA DMV is taking forever on the title so no plates or registration yet Needs a bit of work still, I'll post more pictures shortly. Hoping I can ask folks here for help on best repairs to make in what order and where to get the parts. I live in Northern California, really excited or become a part of the community here, cheers

Looks like a very good start!

You ARE in the right place here.
Just ask, and you will get answers quickly with the most knowledgeable help. 914 owners everywhere, probably one near you.

Again, welcome and enjoy the World!

Love to see these. Congratulations on the car!

Yeah, you have a huge head start with that car. Looks like a complete, nice example.

Nice car!

Congrats and welcome - Looking forward to seeing/hearing progress!

Nice start with pictures!

Good looking car

Congrats, you’ve come to the right place for info. Nice looking start.

I agree with others, great start! Get it titled and some good plates and drive it!

Welcome to 914 World. I live in El Dorado Hills, which is not too far away. Feel free to reach out with any questions about your 914. I own a 1970 model year 914 that I have been reviving that sat in a barn down in Elk Grove since 1987.

Ever go to Cars and Coffee in Folsom/ El Dorado Hills on Saturday mornings?
