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) |

Fabulous weather today and I put a few hours into the project. I'm working the bottom of the outer firewall. Trimming 3/8" of rust off the bottom, fabricating patches, welding, grinding, you know the drill. I'm really low on welding wire so after the first patch I decide to clean up the drivers side long. I finally was able to get the flex brake line loose so with that and the hard line removed - I'm cutting out the engine shelf on that side. With that out of the way, I've got really good access to the anti-hell hole. There's some rust on that side but no major holes. I also cut what was left of the jack point triangle out but the donut itself is still there under the long. So last thing I sprayed the area with metal prep and also some up in between the inner and outer firewalls. If I can stabilize the rusty metal, I might punt on this side and just coat with POR 15.
