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 patch done at the center of the firewall and I even formed this one correctly. Made the flange bend back towards the engine bay and I'll weld that up when I'm thrashing around in there. Note that I've been ripping out the metal "shelf" that seals the cooling tin on the front of the engine. That was completely rotted near the hell hole and is not much better shape as I work my way from passenger to drivers side. I don't think this piece is absolutely needed anyway. Last night I started in on the last patch but with temps in the lower 20's my air tools were starting to freeze up. So I had to stop before I fitted the last patch. We'll get a little reprieve on Sat. and I'd REALLY like to have this firewall sealed before it gets into single digits on Sun.
