I just purchased this beauty for $500 and am excited to start working on it. I have owned 944's and 924's in the past but this is my first 914. Does anyone know where I can download a Factory Shop Manual? The car has been sitting for approx 10 years so any advice on what to do prior to trying to start the car would be helpful. I will be pulling the plugs and injecting some oil into the cylinders before I try to crank it over by hand. Anything else? Thanks.

Hi, welcome !
download a Factory Shop Manual ? Not sure, but I think the Porsche PET is a great doc to have, you can download that easily. Buy some books (Haynes for example) and visit this forum a lot ! Your 914 is an interesting start of the hobby. Already with flares. Before you invest a lot of money to awake this 914 beauty, make sure to check the rust issues first and before you drive it, check the fuelhoses and brakes :-) Be sure to post some pics of your work. |
