Newbie on the 914 board - just bought a '74 2.0 from my uncle (who bought the car new). It's actually in transit from Florida and supposed to arrive tomorrow. In anticipation of its arrival (and my desire to get it on the road asap) I'm looking for some guidance.
The car's been sitting. He started it monthly and let the oil come to temp but other than moving onto the transporter it's really not been run much. I'm planning to change the oil right away and probably flushing brake fluid, inspecting pads, and replacing ignition parts in the next couple weeks. Anything else I should be aware of? I'm not unfamiliar with VW engines but it's been awhile and never owned a 914 (though lusted for years!). Thanks in advance. Aaron in Indianapolis |

Very nice and looking like it wants to go driving RIGHT NOW! Love the color combination and the steel wheels, very retro and definitely cool! Anxious to see what you've really got once you're into it but looks like you've got a great start. Nice to know there's more of us out there with a sense of humor for these little gems!
