Are there any parts explosion diagrams online that clearly show the entire monocoque structure of a 914, offering multiple views so that I can understand how a puzzle of replacement chassis parts would fit together? This would also help me understand where rust may hide in the places I can't see. I've done some searches here but not found exactly what I had in mind. Overall, this is what I have found thus far:
1. 914World build threads: I know there are a gazillion build threads here that will show various views of major surgery on 914's, but it would be great to see all the puzzle pieces (each intact) possibly disassembled? Maybe there's something that shows a car being systematically dismantled? 2. I see this one on AA... AutoAtlanta ...but I could really use a diagram that shows how the many subsets of chassis parts come together. 3. I have an old Haynes manual that has great diagrams of all the primary and ancillary systems, but shows nothing of the monocoque itself. Shop manuals weren't created for replacing major rust, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I'm hoping that: a. I simply haven't used the right search terms here on the World, b. there are a few build threads that show most of what I seek, c. there is a widely-known online source that I have yet to find, d. there is some other great source for schematic parts explosions, or e. the puzzle isn't as complex as I am expecting. Thanks for any help, folks! P.S. Let know if I need to clarify what I'm after...not always sure I know the lingo for all this stuff |

Thanks for throwing out some options!
@mbseto - It would be great if you could post links to the build threads you've bookmarked. I'd use them and they would be a good resource for anyone who finds this thread in the future. @914_teener - Funny, "unibody" was escaping me when I wrote the original post. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, I've watched the RD videos you mentioned...I'll revisit those for sure. I recall them being very insightful for me, a truly visual learner. @mgarrison - I looked at the PDF I have of the 1974 shop manuals and saw the pictures in the "Group 8 Body" manual you referenced. Those will be quite helpful, as well as a number of other pics therein. If someone is working on repairing anything from the door hinges forward, there seem to be great diagrams showing where to best make cuts when repairing subsections of the front of the car. Not all of those cuts are entirely intuitive to me yet, but I haven't cut into a 914 yet. @Superhawk996 - I know that your build thread is one for me to revisit at many points in the the future of my build. I say that because my car may share some of the issues that you found in yours (not surprised). OVERALL, I'll continue to dig into the internet and try to post resources here as I find them. Thanks for your help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
