Whoops, just re read your problem. If you are moving the lever and the pads don't even move, you've got a stuck caliper piston. Very common in old cars that never had the brake fluid changed. Moisture builds up in the fluid and rusts the piston in place.
You need to rebuild or replace the caliper piston. I've done this on other cars and it isn't hard, but haven't done it on a 914. I think I've heard some people saying it wasn't easy with a 914 but don't know why that would be.
You need to pull the calipers to tell if they can be rebuilt. When you get the piston out, it there is heavy rust or pitting inside they can't be rebuilt. If it is very light, then they might be able to be honed and work just fine.
In any case, if this is your problem you need to get to it NOW. You don't have any brakes.
