Porsche Restoration Factory@ the Ghetto Garage in my alley, the slow Ghetto Garage rebuild thread, but not as slow as proto31 Options

Ok, so I thought I'd start sharing some pics of my restoration project. I'm rebuilding my 73' 2.0L.

You ask, how did I arrive at this destitute Ghetto Garage in my alley restoration situation? Well I was driving all together too fast at a speed I will not mention (95mph) one night coming down the 405 around the Sepulvida pass when my passenger side rear wheel fell off.

I managed to coast off the freeway while teatering on two wheels it felt like (never applied the brakes)... and then I let my beloved 914 sit in the alley for a few years while I cursed it and nearly banashed it from my driveway forever.

Fortunately this year brought new inspiration when Proto31 purchased 914-6 #31 and we wagered a bet as to who could get their car driving first.

With the generous help and expertise from club member Bottomend- we pulled the engine last week and now it's time to get down to business.


Here is what was left of the Suspension Console.

Proto31 likes his Muriatic in a sprayer... says it helps him get rid of hangovers in the morning after working on his beer machine. That guy is nuts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif). Anyway it sorta helps keep him smelling less atrocious, since he doesn't shower every month. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
