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) |

Just an update...
Looks like it will be hands off the 914 project for a few weeks. Last weekend we did two days of SCCA Solo. Saturday in the Cayman S and Sunday in the co-owned Boxster. I needed the seat time after a long winter. This weekend I'll be working long hours in a cave (long story) and then the following weekend - we're headed to an SCCA Solo Championship Tour with the Cayman S. I have taken delivery on a bunch of parts though. Aside from the rebuilt long block, I also ordered ignition parts (plugs, wires, distributor cap, coil, etc.). I also got a mother-load of almost-new suspension parts from a great source. So when I get some time there's plenty to do! My focus will still be the sheet metal stabilization when I get back at it. Treating the fuel tank pit, finishing welds on the floor pans and getting everything on the underside painted. I think then I'll be ready to start dealing with the passenger side front fender and stripping the exterior. I already have started stripping the chrome pieces off the sails when I had a few minutes yesterday. So far, nothing but solid metal under the vinyl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
