Be very careful of the battery area. They tend to rust out badly in this area and are not cheap to fix. Up where you live hopefully the car has not been driven in the winter, but would check the entire car over for rust.
The "brain box" area also has issues and since all the power (I seem to remember) goes through this area it needs to be in good condition. Its been 20 years since owning a 914 but loved mine but as well it needed a lot of work to keep up with the jury rigging the PO had done to it.
Put a good warmed over 4 banger in it and have fun!
