Damn, I would love to spend a day massaging that paint. So much potential there.

That looks correct....the oxidation makes it look lighter. I bet it will buff out nice.

In my opinion I would pour Marvel Mystery oil down the spark plug hole and or PB Blaster sprayed into each cylinder to brake the rings away from cylinders. Then take an air lines and put a little air to move the oil around wait two days and do it again. After about a week hand roll the engine over or put the car in 2nd see if you can roil it gently. Now drain the oil and ad new oil ( 30 weight ) put the injection together start it and see what you got??? It will smoke allot for about 10 minutes, keep the RPM way down, And don't forget to adjust the valves before starting the motor. Good Luck.

I just did this for a 73 914 2.0 that was sitting for 33 years I drove the car within 5 hours of getting it home with a single carb. It ran so good I did not rebuild it I just pulled it & resealed everything returned it back to F.I. and its been great.

The 2.0 in my Dad's car was in a wrecked car sitting outside from 1996-2008. We followed pretty much the same instructions as this and it is still running strong today!

don't think fix a flat will take care of that rear tire???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)


That should be a fun project- at least in pix, no bad bubbles around the sail panels...

Doesn't anything rust over there?


Seriously. I don't even want to think about what a 914 that sat outside for 20 years here on the east coast would look like. Great score man!

What a great find. Replace everything that might cause your car to burn up and take it for a spin. I know you know these cars are fun. Enjoy it!

There is a lot to work with there. My car was way worse, (still is) and I drive it every day. Good luck with it, we are here to help and keep in mind that these are SIMPLE cars. Frustrating yes, but simple. Everything I set my mind to do or fix has worked out well, it just takes time and being clever.
