Great video, George. Learned a lot. How come you did not address the targa top?

Thank you very much for the positive feedback
As you can see by the amateurish quality I am ad libbing so forget "stuff" like the top. Tomorrow I am going to do a driving impression video, and our guy is finishing up editing the "how to rekey your exterior door handle"

I liked it, nice video.

That appears to be a very clean and original 914!

Hey Doc- That was a great video for someone going to look at a 914 that has never owned one. Well done and hopefully that helps save a lot of first time buyers from paying good money for a bunch of rust taped together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Good info for someone who can't find a local 914 expert.

I've had my car since new, for 51 years, and the first thing I did was put a crest on the front trunk- sorry George but to me it looks naked without it. To each their own...

A masterclass for all things 914, this is excellent as are all the Auto Alanta videos. Love the presentation style and clarity of detail. These are a 914 legacy. Bravo!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Great video and I finally understand why my several victims haven't been more upset after I let them out of the trunk on dark nights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

good to know i am not the only one with the seat belt problem.

nice honest car to "look over" in such detail from the other side of the planet.
more evidence of 74 1.8 original charcoal can plumbing.

Nice video...you might want to edit the part where you advise adjusting the rear torsion bar,which I assume you meant to say FRONT torsion bar!!

A question on your statement about the rear bumper. 71, 72, 73, & 74 have the same bumper? I have a 72 and I do not have that bumper. Was that a general statement that after 70 there will be some rounding at the bottom? That to me looks like what was called the later steel bumper. 71 & 72 had a different bumper than the 73 and 74, it looked like the 70 bumper but at the bottom where you mention the smile it is a tiny radius compared to the bumper you are showing us.

Nicely done. Learned more about my 74 Zambezi Green 1.8 and a few things to look for despite having it since 74. Thanks, George.
