Finally!! I've been wanting one of these since I was a young kid (and they were new). I scored this off my local Craigslist. . .
It's a 1 owner '75 1.8L. that was owned by a woman and never abused. It looks, shifts and drives like a new car; it's unbelievable. It's all original and complete w/ original window sticker, dealer purchase order, manual, all keys and every single maint. record since day 1. The battery tray itself has the only rust. Hell-hole and everywhere else is 100% rust free. I paid the asking price since it was a give away price; if I bargained down from there, I would truly feel guilty. The most important thing though is that my wife loves it too
It will be my nice weather car (I bought it on the rainy day the photos were taken and it's neatly tucked in my shop now safe and dry).
So now for the question; What is the best workshop manual for the 914?? Thanks for the help. . .
Finally got a 914!!

Super nice! Congratulations.
There's a Bentley manual for the car here - http://tech.bentleypublishers.com/categ ... me=porsche. Might get it cheaper elsewhere, but I'll bet it's the one ot have.

The manual that most 914 guys use is the factory workshop manuals they are way better than the Haynes manuals. numerous people have found critical errors with the Haynes. you can look on pelicanparts and on Auto Atlanta
