Spent some time cleaning it up, currently getting the once over , to get back in shape mechanically.

Awesome, great find and Welcome to the addiction! Keep the pics coming...

Nice find!

That looks like a clean 914 for sure. Can't wait to see more pics.

Awesome! Make sure it’s in the VIN Registry.

Lots of peep’s in the Oc .
Nice color.

Congrats, looks like a nice time capsule!

Welcome to 914World! Nice car. Be sure to bring it to Enderle and hang out with us!

She had been napping for several years for sure. is she running? Cleaned up nicely

Your title, "Picked up 1st 914, 74 2.0", is probably a harbinger of more to come. You only have one first, but that usually means more will follow. Welcome to the madness...there's no known cure.

Not running yet, bleed down test was good, compression good. Replacing all the hoses and lines.

OMG!!! Thanks for dragging it out from it's end of life resting place. That poor thing was doomed!

Trust nothing. Find one of our vetted vacuum diagrams and be sure your lines are going where they are actually supposed to go. Save yourself a ton of frustration. It's had 50 years of DAPOs messing around with it.

Based on your first picture, that's a great find!

Looks great.

Something tells me you may have an addiction when you buy a 914 and call it your first. Many here have or had multiple 914s. Welcome to the madness.

Well done! More photos please.

When and where , not sure when it will be ready, but Iam in. Thx

welcome to our mid-engine madness!! As Eddy said there’s a whole group of us who get out on the weekends and can point you in the right direction for what you may need….

Thanks , getting stuff sorted out. May be a bit before iam up and running .

Welcome aboard the nut ride of a lifetime.........where in So. Cal. are you? It is fun to help a new member get back on the road....plus we all have about 500 parts each we don't need "right now....will get to it later".....a definite sickness so beware.....comes on slow but then you are broke but have a nicely running 914 and lots of spare parts....and a bunch of new friends....spelled fiends.....
All the best,
gg

Orange County, Fullerton

Cool! I bought a new ‘73 1.7 in Buena Park when I lived in Fullerton. Grew up in that town. Skyline Dr. was a great twisty in those days. La Habra Heights had a great selection of roads back in the day also. Lots of good 914 memories from those days.

I know skyline , live close bye. Grew up in LaHabra know the heights well also....

I'm down to "only" three myself!

Welcome to the "74 Club! I believe we have the most unique model year of the 914.

Osnabruck914

Agreed !

Welcome. I picked up my first 914 just about a year ago from a member here (a 75 2.0) And have been having fun. Look for the cars and coffee at the Enderle center in Tustin (usually posted by Steve). I don’t get there too often but look forward to seeing you there (I am close by in La Mirada BTW).

Cheers, Joe

Cool ! we have to get together ..

Best of luck with her, she's a beauty.

Nice car, I moved out of Fullerton, I was off of Panerama and Brea. There's alot of nice 914s around there to drive with.

Having 6 local grandkids, I am trying to pass one to each. Still got a ways to go

Been a couple months of having the 914 worked over.
All hoses replaced fuel and vacuum
Brakes reworked , steel braided lines, master reworked
Alternator rebuilt, new injectors , coil, plug wires, most all rubber items replaced.
Its in the capable hands of a board member who has been going threw it , to get it back in shape. Its very close to getting done, and back on the road !

Also replaced shifter linkage with bronze bushings

I ll have more pics soon

First brake job, and new fuel pump

Fuel pump

Almost ready

Looks great!

I love the silver! Congrats and welcome!

Nice find, now the fun begins! Welcome to 914 World.
