The 914 had been sitting for a number of years. The first thing was to clean out as much of the fuel system as I could. This entailed removing and cleaning the gas tank, replacing the in line fuel pump and filters and replacing segments of the plastic fuel line.
After installing a new battery - checking all the fluids - and using a few squirts of starting fluid - the car started and idled smoothly.
However, the joy was short lived. The clutch was frozen. I had the car towed to Kaferhaus - in Seabrook, Texas. They replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearings, all four of the brake calipers and rotors, one rear wheel bearing and a few other small items. The work they did was extremely well done.

Nice blog daparson. Your posts were interesting reading. I was looking for brake rotors related information and found your site. I have a brake rotors site. You'll find info on atv tires as well as most major brands of vehicle tires such as Michelin, Goodyear, BF Goodrich, Cooper and more. With winter here, you can also get winter tire and tire chain recommendations for your vehicle. Please try and visit it, see what you think.
