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) |

It was nice to get into the project yesterday and today for a few hours in the evenings. I had already stripped the fuel tank pit and so last night I treated and painted. Turned out pretty good except for one area that bubbled. I think that was from moisture after rinsing. Typically I go over every inch with a heat gun but I must have missed one small area. Oh well, there will be plenty more applications of POR 15 yet and I'll touch that up. Tonight I finished the underside welds on the floor pans, cleaned, treated and primed the cross member RD pieces. Once those are welded in and primed, I'm probably going to start looking hard at that right front fender. Also, I stripped the remaining sail trim pieces and they all look quite nice. Those will be for sale for anyone wanting the appearance package sail details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
