Passenger rocker:

Note: You'll see some black paint. Last time I had the rockers off in January 2014, I lightly sanded the best I could (by hand) and then slapped a little black rustoleum on it.

Some things to note:

1. When I took the rocker panels off, a fair amount of dirt had got caught up in there again. And I just took them off 18 months ago AND the car has been sitting since October 2014. I need to find a way to completely enclose the rocker panels on both ends. I also plan to do a "jack point" delete.

2. The front of the car looks rough and it looks like the PO had put some POR-15 on areas rusting in the front (you can see in the pics). I'm not quite sure, but the pics make me think that the car has at one time in it's life been in a small front-end fender bender, but the rest of the chassis seems very straight. Perhaps it was a simple parking lot style accident. Definitely not something at speed. I'll know more when the car goes in for sandblasting and/or a real expert gets a look at it.

You might get your wish. I'm considering a Boxster muffler. Saw some cool pics of install here on 914World last week I think. But you'll have to wait at least 1 year... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Appreciate some insight since you are new into to the disassemly and is fresh. I too have a 914 2.0 but into 6 conversion. Got this as a"some assembly required deal" and so I did not take apart. On your floor board pictures you show all the wiing laying on the floor. Since I received mine without seat the wires were just laying there. Could you povide any info you have on the wires in your pictures? Thanks for any help. Jim

So I haven't had much time to work on my 1974 tear down lately. I have been able to get a little work done lately including getting the headlights out (except the motors), getting all the heater blower motor stuff out in the cowl, and getting started on the dash.

Was able to get a few more hours in on my car this afternoon. Finally got all of the cowl area cleared out (except for the harness. Got the headlights and motors out. Got the front hood, rear trunk lid and engine lid out. Took some shots of the hell hole.

Are these "bumps/indentations" in the fenders supposed to be there behind where the headlight motors sit?

Now the rust shots:

First up is the battery tray and engine firewall where the pad used to be. I'll NEVER have a soundpad here again. Fortunately, the rust here appears to only surface. Battery tray looks like it had some work done by PO.
