I was able to fix the front suspension so now it's a roller! I pulled the battery out and the tray has some rust holes in one corner but is still mounted in there firmly. Should I patch it up or pull it out to see what's going on underneath?
I'm not sure what is going on with the engine yet. I found the air filter and starter in the trunk along with the speedometer (84,000) miles. Keep in mind this is my first 914 so this next question might be dumb. in the trunk I also found a part that goes on the right side of the engine. It looks like a fan or something. The one on the left is still mounted in the car. Can any of you tell me what that is? Just curious. I'll put a pic of left side and battery tray/hell hole. I have not had a chance to inspect the rails for rust. Anyway, I know you all like pictures so here you go. Attached thumbnail(s)

Well,those 10 hole steelies can be refurbished for cheap,and it's the nice blue that can be buffed out(mostly).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Lol I was able to talk the tow company into letting me steel those wheels off of a 71 super beetle vert that they were going to crush. 3 of the 4 wheels are bent but I can have Stockton wheel straighten them and then get them powder coated. Then I would have to come up with center caps. Also the wife doesn't mind too much but I'm in the middle of a sportster build and renovating the house. With that being said I may just have to make this a long term project. Good thing it doesn't take up much room! |
