Rich stone stock (well except for the euro lens's). Just keep up the maintenance and they last 30 yrs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)
Its got some rust as usual (you can see I took off the sail vinal to treat the trim spots), but as long as I keep top of it its cool.
Spending all my time trying to bring the the 74 back from the dead.

First post!

(IMG:http://vectorbug.com/pics/myporsche2.jpg)
(IMG:http://vectorbug.com/pics/myporsche.jpg)
(IMG:http://vectorbug.com/pics/myporsche1.jpg)

Just bought it a few weeks ago. Only stalled it once (my fault).

Its my first 914!

74 1.8. FI. Flowed heads. Optical Ign. Old style linkage (I dont remember why the seller said he did this other than (it was easier to work on I think). The seller was a 914 mechanic and this was his last of about a dozen he'd had over the years. Rust on the chassis and past the paint is minimal. It goes much faster than my daily driver saab. Needs weather stripping and new door handles.

Ironically my main car didnt start up yesterday and I had to use my "project" car to get to work. Its got a nice loud exhaust, which everyone loves when in the parking garage =) But after seeing it, everyone calls it the Porsche GOAP =\

I was going to sell it for a little more than I got it, as I became overwhelmed by the vanity repairs and I thought "I can make a few bucks" but I just love seeing it too much in my driveway and love driving it even more. I'm still on the fence though, as I'm pretty damned busy and impatient when it comes to fixin stuffs (but not lazy).

Welcome Grayson !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

You have come to the right place.

The car looks better than half of what I see people starting with. Drive it once a week and start experimenting with how the car handles. You havent even tipped the iceberg yet on what the little cars do.

Thanks! I've been lurking on ebay and craigslist for a number of years for a 914. I'm super excited about this one. The only documentation I've got is the pelican parts guides and a haynes manual and a knowledgable friend with a 72 911T.

I had a hell of a time finding the gas tank the first time I was on empty!

Speaking of which, I don't even know what kind of oil and filter I should use! I live near the san francisco area, so no snow but wet. Anyone have any recommendations?

Heres a pic of the engine. The air filter is from home depot (!) I'll probably replace it with a K&N but it works great.

Go to your profile under "My controls" and add your city ..so we can tell you where to go local for parts.

I'm located 30 minutes north of the GG bridge off of 101. 20% of this BBS is from NorCal.

Mine isn't as purdy as most but it's one of two 914's I own. This is my Lagoon Blue '75 I bought from this very board. Brad was kind enough to go through alot of trouble getting it here for me from the left coast.

Thanks Jeroen. That picture is my favorite angle of the car in it's present condition as it shows off the solid long and jack point in the original color. It is indeed a nice tub.

I've alredy purchased a nice front right and left rear quarters. Before I even unloaded the car from the trailer, I pulled back the wiring in the engine compartment and sand blasted the important parts so I could size up the work. The *original* battery try is still in the car. It's badly pitted with rust and has one quarter size hole in it but It's solid enough for me to stand on it and I'm not a small guy at 190lb.

There is one pin-hole in the passenger side long. The firewall on both sides need small patches just above the long. The left side engine shelf needs a small ammount of work to fill pin-holes. The passenger side engine shelf may get replaced. It needs the forward most 8 inches or so. I've already got an engine shelf so I may just replace the whole thing.

Rick,

It was in the club classifieds for $250 and no-one was interested enough to buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I got it for $150 + Brad's time/shipping costs. Which is still well under $1k delivered.
