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.

So they're only giving you $500 to haul it away? I don't know if that's a very good deal. You might check the manual for the proper tire pressure. They look like they might be a little low to me.
This is the place to get help, but you'll need to put up with a little bit of teasing. I'd offer up some beer to the locals in return for some help to evaluate the car. Welcome |
