Hi there, new to the forum scene but not the 914. I've had my 75 1.8 for about 26 years now. I stopped driving it at least 10 years ago because of a leaky fuel injector, up til then it was a great daily driver. I had the best mechanic on the planet until he decided to get into computers so needless to say I've been a bit shy to entrust my car to another. I realize that I have now caused myself a ton more problems by letting it sit. I would love to get it back on the road where it belongs. I stumbled onto this site and was excited to see so many others who appreciate these fun little cars. I'm no mechanic, I've tackled smaller tasks, but spent many hours alongside mine and am fairly familiar. I guess my question is this... where do I even start????

Get some jack stands. Good ones. Remove the fuel tank and clean it out, Replace the sock screen in the tank, replace the plastic fuel lines in the tunnel with Stainless steel lines. You can find sources for these in the member vendor section. Replace the rubber fuel lines. When they are old they split and have caused far too many fires and burned cars. Replace all the brake hoses (rubber ones) They swell up inside and will cause your calipers to stick. Rebuild the calipers or get some from PMB. 10 year old tires are not a good idea. Vacuum lines if you still have the stock injection. General tune up with oil change and drive it like you stole it! That should keep you busy for several weeks. Oh, and if search doesn't find what you need ask away. We will help if we can. |
