New to this forum but I've been around 944s, 924Ss, Boxster and Cayman forums for years.
This one is going to take some time. Purchased for $900, non-running but otherwise complete '73 914 2.0. Certainly just beyond a viable restoration car but probably okay for what I plan to do with it. Here's some highlights of the tear down... On the trailer going to the house. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Another evening of patching fun. Finished up the passenger side vent rust. I cut the dash bracket off with a grinder. Then marked a rectangle bending up from the previous patch. Cut the offending material out and made the patch. I actually ended up making the bends by hand and some nylon hammer assistance. The vertical welds were done in the passenger compartment and the horizontal welds from inside the fuel tank compartment. Everything cleaned up well in the passenger compartment but a bit too tight to get the grinder in on the other side.
