This Porsche 914 project is my first restoration. Restoring a 1975 Porsche 914 is probably a difficult one to start with because convertible cars come with added complications. But I always wanted an air cooled Porsche and this 1975 Porsche 914 came up in the right price and in the right condition to match my budget. Amway, I am learning a lot of new restoration and car repair skills and I thought it would be fun to make a video series for RU-vid along the way. I’m genuinely looking for comments and opinions from you to help me make the required decisions!

A couple of suggestions...... I have a 1975, 914 also. When you took the fuel tank out there should be two fuel pipes connected. One outlet and one inlet. It's important to get them the right way round. Plus, before you put the tank back in I suggest you put a loose webbing strap ( an old ratchet strap without the ratchet works well ) tied round the centre of the tank so the next time you need to remove the tank you have something that is easier to get hold of. Once the expansion tank is refitted you won't be able to see the webbing strap. Also, while you have the fuel tank out check the wiper motor works OK. It is a so and so to get to with the tank in! The fuel pump was usually fitted under the fuel tank on the left hand side. But where it is now would certainly easier to get to.

Hi Tony @Qspecialman Thanks for your message! My car has a twin carb conversion and I did some reading on it. Seems that the system can cope with a single fuel feed pipe to the carbs but in hot countries, it's best if it still has a return line (not essential in the UK) but if you have any experience of this, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it! Good tip regarding the ratchet / webbing strap, I'm hoping to not have to lift the tank again any time soon but it doesn't do any harm to fit one. I'll pick one up next time I see a strap at the side of the road! That's a really good point about the wiper motor, I'm going to test it because I don't want to get it all put together again only to find I have an issue with the wipers! Thanks, Phil

With experience from boats with old gas and squeeze bulbs, use a longer outlet hose and put it in your receptacle at a level lower than the gas tank. Use syphoning, much easier on your workload!

@ReviveMyRide Год назад

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try that next time! The small fuel bulb can be very time consuming. Luckily, I had almost zero fuel in it this time. 🙂

My vote is for the original color as well - not just because it's the original color but that the 914 looks better in that darker burgundy color IMHO. Keep up the great videos - subscribed!

Nice. It has sway bars, good option.I have 2 74 914's. Both were from the Hood River, Or area although I'm in Arizona. I did complete color changes on both. I'm sure you're using 914Rubber in Oregon, nice parts.

@ReviveMyRide 11 месяцев назад

Hi @sunset1300 Ah, Hood River area in Oregon, had to look it up! So our cars were from the same neck of the woods! What's the status of your cars both up and running? Mine seems a long way off still but it's back in my garage now, so it's time to get to work! I haven't used 914 rubber yet but I d=signed up to their newsletter etc. I bought my steel panels from Restoration Design but there's a lot of other things I need: selas, euro spec lights etc. Thanks, Phil

@stevekovacs6250 2 года назад

Original color would be my vote as it would contribute to better value. Do it right!

@ReviveMyRide 2 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment! You do realise that as this project is 100% DIY, I will need to earn how to paint now! 😂 Could get interesting...

@stemcleeds 2 года назад

Original colour is my vote

@ReviveMyRide 2 года назад

Thanks for your opinion, hopefully some others will weigh in too. In my heart I think I know that back to original is best, it will just mean a lot more extra work! But could be fun! 😀

@richardjones38 2 года назад

They're not replacement fuel lines. They're the originals, and they're black from new. Exactly the same in my '75. Mine had been damaged, so I'm replacing them, but the PA12 (a type of Nylon) that DIN 73378 fuel lines are made from doesn't usually degade, so if yours look good all over, they're probably fine. The change to steel pipe at the front where they pass by the pedal assembly. Replacing the tube is not trivial - you need special tools to push the fittings / pipes into the ends, some of which I've just made today.

@ReviveMyRide 2 года назад

Really appreciate your comment! I will leave mine alone then, I've got enough work to do without looking for more! 👍😀 Sounds like you are keeping busy too!

@richardjones38 2 года назад

@@ReviveMyRide No problem. Yes, full restoration, backdate / GT replica, running gear upgrade of a '75 1.8 Californian spec import. Despite having spent all its life in California, it's in similar condition to your, rust wise.

The white plastic pipe in the tunnel is the fuel vapour like from the expansion tank on top of the fuel tank. It went to the charcoal canister in the engine compartment. The front end of it was not connected in your car unless you didn't show disconnecting it in the video (it went to the small fitting on the LH side of the expansion tank). Also, when you lifted the expansion tank off the top of the fuel tank, the overflow hose was missing - it goes to the large (18mm) hose fitting on the expansion tank. If you overfill the tank, it vents the spilled fuel to under the car, rather than in it. And it also forms a bit of a loop around the tank - the old school way of preventing fuel pouring out of the tank if the car is not the right way up (much same as in a Beetle, except the Beetle system is better in my opinion). Maybe the charcoal canister was removed along with the fuel injection system too? The charcoal canister was missing in mine too, and I was looking for pictures of it installed in a '75 when I found this video.

@ReviveMyRide 2 года назад

@@richardjones38 Thanks for the the info! Yeah, the charcoal cannister was missing on mine. Sorry, my bad, I did disconnect the overflow hoses, probably should have shown that! Did you see in the video the outlet from the fuel tank didn't have a hose clip to hold it on? It had just been pushed on and was really easy to pull off! 😱
