First set up for engine work. Very glad to have the extra garage space.

And just enough room to park the snow blower behind my 911. This makes it much easier to fire up on a cold morning.

Nice! I have the same machine parked behind the 356 (under the 914). I guess I should move mine into posit for the season.

For some (dumb) reason I resist using the snow blower unless I have to. Most of the time I push one of these back and forth for an hour.

Me too, I have it ready to go, but use it maybe every 3 years...then again I don't like in the Rockies, I live in the swampy DC area. I did get to use it last year and did all down the street to help my neighbors (1/8 acre lots mean I can do in front of about 8 houses quickly)

Just stumbled across this thread. The work is simply amazing! On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst), how typical was the rust on this car? I’m on the hunt for one but the thoughts of all that rust repair have me scared.

Bob has done a great job completing the restoration of this car and a great job of documenting the work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks!

The rust summary:
passenger compartment floor (holes below L and R seats plus L and R front corners)
trunk floor (complete rear edge)
L and R rockers (small holes below A-pillars)
cowl (L and R corners of the frunk gasket channel)
other sections of the frunk gasket channel
RR inner fender wall behind battery mount
R side of fire wall (above and below lower seam above hell hole)
hell hole (outer layer)
R engine shelf

Notably the longs on both sides were near perfect inside and out. Given that, and no rust in related places like the RR suspension pickup, I would guess this rates a 5. None of the rust repair was that hard or required a chassis jog to get right.

I also had to redo PO collision repair done very poorly, including the RR outer fender, the RF inner fender, the front panel and part of the frunk floor, and the rear panel.

It's a new year, and time for some 914 work. Last month I pulled the engine and set it on jack stands.

Somewhere in here is one or more oil leaks. See my new thread for more.

More disassembly, on my quest to find the oil leak(s). See my other thread for more details.

I pulled the starter so I can hold the flywheel in place.
