Okay, this is my first post so please be gentle. As of 5 days ago I am the proud owner of a white 73 2.0 914. I bought it from a family friend. It was love at first sight for me and the car, since I was a kid I wanted one and now that I am 42 that feeling never went away. The car has not been driven in over 8 years. It is original. So where do I start or should I say my mechanic start? I live in the Twin Cities area so my plan is for this to be my summertime daily driver.
Thanks for the advice. Stephen |

Second. Check tires quality 8 years i would recommend putting new tires on it I found with my 72 that sat for 3 years the rotors were ok just oxidized and i went ahead and cleaned up the surface with some abrasives to cut away the oxidation. dont forget the grease points and the shift rail etc..
