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 |

First (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) 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.. Chris Thanks, my to do list is getting longer. Keep them coming. Stephen Your list will never stop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) How mech. inclined are you? You will save a ton of $ by doing it yourself. The more you do the more you will know how to fix things that may go wrong. Your better off learning the in's and out's of the car. Not to be a pessimist but, she WILL leave you stranded one day. Knowing how the car works is valuble. There is alway's a ton of help offered here, ask Q's and dive in, it's fun |
