I have finally started to rebuild my 74 914. I got my garage setup, tools ready, just need to find the time now. I figured I would start a thread to keep track of progress. I bounce around between many projects and usually busy on other things so I expect this to take many years.
Paid $900 for it and drove it home. I drove it a few times before it developed a serious oil leak and has been sitting in the garage ever since. I am finding a lot of hidden rust on this car. Typical spots but a lot that has been hidden by previous repaints and repairs. Hell hole is shot, outer longs in bad shape, floor pan needs repair, etc. Like I said, typical 914 rot. I am a complete beginner at this so it will be a learning experience all the way. I plan on doing it all myself and getting in way over my head. Here is a picture of the car as it was bought about 10 years ago. Attached image(s)
