Picked up a 76 2.0 for my better 1/2.
It's been off the road for the past -10 years. Motor spins freely and, reportedly, was rebuilt shortly before it was parked (which was due to physical limitations). Paint is heavily oxidized. Brakes were locked up, rotors rust covered. Car had been hit previously, and the resulting bondo has cracked pretty badly. Interior is nice, seats have no tears or holes. Dash has a couple cracks, but nothing overly grotesque. As I begin getting this back roadworthy, Am pulling fuel tank to be cleaned out thoroughly. Replacing all fuel and vacuum lines. Changing oil and trans fluid. Will go through brake system. See what's good. What's in need of replace or [email]repair. My question: where can I go for a list of what pieces parts are compatible from year to year in the 914. Interested in front and rear hoods, top, brake calipers - Or more specifically, I've a line on a 71 running complete parts car- what will cross over between a 71 and a 76? Thanks. I look forward to posting pics (when I get them and figure out how they work on this forum. Rev. |

Well then. Maybe I misunderstood- plastic lines run the length of the tunnel? Apparently, in its history, someone replaced the lines IN the tunnel with steel but joined them to the plastic via 7/16 fuel hose and hose clamps, inside the tunnel, under the rear access panel.
I inclined to leave them as is. |

Well then. Maybe I misunderstood- plastic lines run the length of the tunnel? Not quite the length. Below, you can see a photo of a cut-away center tunnel. (Literally cut, I think with a plasma cutter.) Note that the front of the lines are metal, but most of the length of the line is plastic. No clamps, just flanges for a strong friction fit.
