Hello all, I'm brand new to the magical world of the 914. I've always been a fan of them, and it APPEARS my dream is about to come true. I've found one locally, and am going to look at it in a few days. Its a 1975 1.8. I'm not a motor head, and was hoping to get some advice on what to look out for, or for signs of danger...
I look forward to getting to know people... Thanks, Kyle[i] |

First piece of advice, is use the search function. the problem areas of the 914 are covered extensively here. Lots of smart and very helpful people. I am 19 and just bought a 914 about a month ago, blast to drive and you get lots of looks from everyone! The longs, hell hole, and battery tray are the ones people look for for rust issues. Does the car run or is it a project? |
