1974 Porsche 914 restoration - Part 1

[@jeffhammond8969]

Hmm, I would strip the red and go back to factory color. To really replace pan and longitudinal work, really needs a rollover jig to make the job simpler.

Paint and body work is not my strongest skill. I disagree on the rotisserie. If you plan out the sequence of panel replacement, you can get everything done on a lift. Just don't hack out too much at once.

[@jeffhammond8969]

@@hansgarage1751 that's probably true, I was just thinking a rotisserie would maker it easier. I have neither, and I certainly don't have welding skills, so I will contract out the paint and body work on my p-car restoration

Sway bars are not original. Maybe Tangerine. My 1974 2.0 has original sways, no adjustment.

[@hansgarage1751]

Yeah, I agree. Even the rear bar has adjustable drop links.

I have a 74 1.8 with the OEM L-Jetronic FI and it runs all day long. I ebayed a backup ECU just in case the original gives up. Installed upgraded fuel pump and fuel lines from gas tank to engine bay. Best part is, no gas fumes from carbs. I will be following you with much interest.

Good to know Daniel. Be sure to let me know if I screw something up putting that back together!
