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) |

This thread is driving me nuts...I mean ...jeez buy a decent tub would ya ! ..your skill is awesome your patients is astounding , but your decision making process could use some therapy....I end up admiring you ...kinda Let's see... I paid $900 for the piece of junk. Sold probably $400 - $500 in parts. Bought some tools. Learning to weld. I've mostly enjoyed all the problem solving and learning so far with this project. I wouldn't call my skills awesome at all. Perhaps marginally effective. This chassis very well may fall to pieces the first time on an autocross course but you know what... I'll just laugh and either walk away from it or fix it. If that means my decision making process is f**ked up then I'm okay with that. I appreciate your admiration (kinda). |
