Help me identify the wires on the radio.
I found:
+ 12V black (thick wire) - always on
+ 12V red-black (thin wire) - always on
+ 12V L (works when head lights are on).
brown - grounding

In the back seem to be the 2 wires for the speakers and the antenna wire.

1. The problem would be with the wires on the left. At first glance, all belong to the volume button in the center console.

If a previous owner made changes I could have the chance to connect to the rear speaker plugs and they would go directly to the 2 speakers on the car.

2. Wouldn't a + 12V wire be needed to work only when the ignition is on? From my point of view, this wire is missing.





Later edit: Surely someone made some changes. Some of the original plugs on the volume knob I think have been cut and replaced.

Its a lot of work, but the end results is great! You now need to get the front ride height a bit lower and it will be perfect

any further plans?

On the aesthetic side, I want to put door panels with porsche script.
Cylinder head cover - electrostatic paint. (to be able to clean easily)

Considering that this fall I noticed that the radiator is a bit damp - to mount a new radiator (new core - old basin sides).

Love your car - just wish mine had the RoW front bumper with the fog lights.

Haven't been able to find one in the States......

I don't know what the laws are in Romania but my '76 914 has "in bumper" fog lights and I put LED's in them and run them as DRL's - Daytime Running Lights, on all the time.

Really dresses the car up, IMHO.

Only pic I have but as it's at an angle from the lights, you can't really see them well.......

Nice car Gatornapper,

I use fog lights also as Daytime Running Lights.

I changed the radiator (with new core), I also repaired the vent screw (Screw plug), I bought a transistorized ignition from America because mine had water damege.

MOTANUL -

LOVE YOUR BUMPER so much better than mine. Let me know when you want to swap.

Are you sure the lower half of your car isn't Dolomite Gray like mine?

Sure looks like it.

Sweet car bro, sweet car.

The lower half color never comes out well in the pictures. It is a dark blue with grey, etc

A trip by car to the sea.
