Now that I have the 2.0 running adequately its time to tackle the rust issues...
When I first looked this car over I was so excited about getting it I didn't look as thoroughly as I should have. The cost of excitement I suppose...
Although what I am about to show you isn't nearly as bad as some of the amazing restorations I have seen on this site, I still feel it is necessary to show you what I am dealing with! My hopes are that I can be pointed in the right direction.
I am partially embarrassed to even show these pictures as the rot is minimal by comparison to what I've seen some members work with...
here goes nothing...
all the interior removed:

This gives a basic of what I'm dealing with.
Oddly, there is No rust in the "hell hole"... at least none that I can clearly see. The battery moved to the rear of the car and that might have saved this area...
Anyhow, this is what I have to work with. Overall not terrible, but certainly more than I had hoped for in wanting a drive-able project.
Comments welcome.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think your rot will be minimal. Pull the rocker covers and poke around some more. Our cars have spot welded seams that allow moisture to enter into the body cavities. So they literally rust from the inside out. Check out the passenger suspension console, the pedal box reinforcement, the rear trunk, and the area where the bumpers are bolted in. As you remove paint, undercoating and seam sealer, you will find more rust. It can all be fixed.
I would also buy some stainless steel fuel lines from tangerine racing.
Rust never sleeps.....ask us how we know!
Looks like the car was POR-15'd at some point in its life. There's going to be a lot of rust to fix. You can get many of these parts from Restoration Design.
1. Drivers and pasenger floor pans http://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/PP344 and P345
2. Probably both trunks (or at least partial pieces in both trunks).
3. Suspension consoles
You need to get a look at those longs with the rockers off and starting poking with a big screwdriver.
I hope it works out for you. Of course, fixing this car all depends on your wallet and/or your welding skills and/or your personal connection to the car (ie. it belonged to a family member). Best of luck.
I was hopping for a different response but kept in the back of my mind I'd get this.
I except the challenge but am overwhelmed at this point...
Car has no connection other than I like 914s. My goal was to find something I could drive and work on... doesn't look like the case here.
The vin for the car is:
4742903791
and here is the stamp for the color code:
http://s98.photobucket.com/user/Nemisus/media/Porsche%20914/20150517_213132_zpsv48kwafw.jpg.html
Unless I am mistaken this is an original black 914.
I wont give up just yet. But it does look like I need to focus on finding the rust issues and start making a list of what I am going to need.
Someone asked if I can weld.... can't say that I am the best, but I have welded a time or two.
appreciate the feedback.
Cheers

It's a rust inhibitor paint. Problem is that if the car is already rusting, it continues to rust from the inside out. Note: Our cars rust from the inside out already.
http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Rust-Preventive-Coating_p_8.html
This isn't my car, but here is a sample of the type of work you are looking at:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=187546&hl=fixing+rust
I'm not trying to be a downer. It all depends on your skill set. If you are a person with good welding skills, a shop (barn garage) to work in and have time then you could/should tackle the project. But from a safety standpoint, I wouldn't drive it especially with the seat rail welds rusted away from the floor pan (the seat belt connecting doesn't look great either). These cars don't have a ton of collision protection to start with, but they will crumple even more with a weak frame.
You'll want to remove the firewall backpad insulation inside and also the insulation in the engine compartment. There is more rust hiding there.
Good luck and don't be discouraged - from a fellow early '74 2.0 owner
Thanks Shadowfax!
I am trying really hard to not be discourage. The issue I am going to face is having the funds to buy what needs to be replaced... which is why I was hoping to be able to drive it for a while while I collected what was needed.
I knew this wasn't going to be a cost effect restoration, but dove into anyway.
I have always been a fan of american muscle... then one day a friends Dad gave me a 75 Porsche 914.
Since then the 914 has earned its place in my heart. While the 75 was drive-able it had its issues that took significant value from the car.
My fear is I'll get to a point with this car and not be able to continue... if that happens and it sits for a long time I'll loose focus and it will never get complete.
My goal is to have the rust taken care of by the end of this summer. I have already calculated the cost for parts and know what I'm in for. I just need to take is slow and steady when the repairs get going.
Whew... feel like I went off on a rant for a bit.
Anyhow... the weather is cold so I might not get the motor taken out today. I recently had back surgery and cold weather isn't nice to me.
Stay tuned!
Cheers

Here is an overdue update of the my 74 2.0 restoration:
Decided to drop the engine today so I could get a better look at what might be hiding.
I think overall things could have been worse, but I am trying to remain optimistic and could be kidding myself.
The Hell Hole has definitely seen some repair... Will need more work I think as whoever repaired it only fixed what was visible.
Tomorrow if I have time I plan to clean the car as much as possible. The spider eggs and webs are everywhere.
Enjoy the progress pics!
2.0 waiting to be cleaned up!

Not that I doubted the car wasn't a real 2.0... it has become hard to find a 914 intact with its original motor... at least this confirms a legit 2.0. Anyone know how to match the engine number to the VIN?

That about does it for today. I have been making my shopping list and I'm not sure where to shop for parts. Auto Atlanta has a lot of stuff, but so does Restoration Design. Any recommendations?
Suppose in the end as long as I get what I need it wont really matter where I buy from.
Well thanks for viewing the progress this far!
Cheers 914World
Nice progress. Please clean out all of the spiders, nests and anything else with more than 2 legs.
Restoration design is always 1st on my list. AA not so much.
This is your longitudinal frame rail and structural. This should have been repaired when the PO did the hell hole.
This needs to be fixed before you drive the car.
You really need to look under the rockers. I think you will find a lot more unfortunately.
It's a recommended pre purchase inspection area
The Rockers are the trims or skirting that runs under the doors between the wheels, they're bolted in place but the bolts may well be rusted so could need cutting off. You'll find the structural Longs behind these and you must check the condition of these...judging the rest of the car you likely will have issues here. They form the structure of the car so if they are compromised, your car is very dangerous to drive.
You've made a great choice buying a 914, they're wonderful and engaging cars...very much underrated. Your particular car is going to be a challenge though imho. If you have a decent amount of spare time, plenty of funds and the motivation you will love fixing it up..but I think your car needs to be completely stripped to assess the full extent of the fix.
I am/was a novice when I started my car..the PO had done some bodge repairs which made things even harder and I had a lot to address but i love every spare minute I get to spend on it..
Good luck and keep on it...

The main problem you see was caused by battery acid coming off the battery when it got rained on.The floor pan? Looks like it had a serious back window leak for a long time.
Sorry to say its going to take longer than the 1/2 hour you see on TV. But its definitely doable.
Strip out the interior and pull off the doors. Weld in some support where the door were and strip the entire car down. All the way. Take it to a sand blaster and let them have at it. See what you have when they're done. Then start replacing parts.
Many of us learned the hard way with our first 914 as a learning experience
Some truly talented people on this site fix it correctly with a rotisserie.
Some part it out or sell to find a better starting point
This is going to be a big job. Costing multiple times more than you think
The math shows that you can find another car cheaper than you can fix one.
It's often a multiple year project. I don't want to discourage you. Just go into it with your eyes wide open.
Pull your rockers
Okay guys! Sounds like I have some serious considering to do...
This is not my first 914. Although I can admit all I did was drive the other one.. I never really took any time to see how bad things were. I knew it had some rust, but at that time I wasn't terribly interested in 914's. I took a 75 2.0 car (had a 1.7 bus engine) as a trade for a motorcycle my dad gave me. Seemed like a fair trade.
I ended up selling the 75 for a pretty decent chunk of change considering it wasn't matching in any way. Anyhow... after selling that car I realized how much I missed it and loved driving it. It actually made an impression on me.
This is why I jumped on this 74 2.0 car. Thought I could bring it back to life and learn a thing or two about these amazing cars.
Anyhow, here are the requested pictures of the rockers inside the car and outside.
I really need a better camera.
Starting with the passenger side:

Feedback welcome.

Search here on 914world for plans on building a rotisserie.
Not that you asked for it, but my honest opinion is that you should take as many of the good parts off of that car (and there are tons) and find a new tub. About the only logical reason for restoring this car would be 1.) it belonged in the family (ie. was your grandpa's car) or 2.) it was an original 914/6 or 3.) it had some serious racing prominence.
Check out my build thread
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/inde
My car looked good but was very rusty inside. I am paying to have it professionally restored. It's a good amount of $$$ but it will be done right. I could never do it myself. It would have been way less expensive if I started with a better tub but it didn't. Take your time and figure out what you want. Personally I hate to see projects that someone starts, gets overwhelmed and never get done but that's life.

Please forgive my lack of filter.
Knowing Mike, he has nothing but good intentions and is just trying to make sure your eyes are wide open as you consider your path. We all love to see these cars returned to driving condition and more.
We are all aware of projects that being with all of the best intentions and then rust rears its ugly head and reality sets in. For some, it is best to consider another approach. Others steel themselves and tackle even the most hopeless appearing project and turn them into beauties. It all depends upon your skills and commitment - both with your time and wallet.
Regardless, post tons of pictures. It's what we live for as we live vicariously through other build threads. Best wishes.
You live in the right state
That TX tub is very sweet!
And there are nice ones from time to time in CA
Updated June 14th,
So I had some time to spend with the Porsche today. Took a pressure washer to it and knocked of some paint. Not overly enthused about what I found. Apparently I overlooked this when I first took a look at the car. Must have been my excitement.... which usually gets the best of me!
Anyhow... the pictures speak for themselves:
At some point this Originally Black 74 had some Green 70 pieces put on it... I'm no body worker, but it looks like the work was done well for its time... took me some time to locate the seams. Whatever the reason to replace the outer fender didn't interfere with the inner fender as the VIN is still in place. However the entire inner fender, headlight bucket and part of the front was replaced.
Enjoy the pics:

Update:
Doesn't look like I'm getting much interest but I'll keep updated nonetheless.
Got a chance to remove the fuel tank today. Looks pretty underneath... I was expecting bad.
I'll have a few pictures uploaded of today's work.

You live in California, the home of nearly rust free cars. I live in New Jersey, the home of rust buckets. I was in your shoes, 40 years ago, when I bought my first Triumph TR4. I was all gung ho and bought the first one I looked at. After the excitement wore off and looking it over as you are doing, I came to the conclusion I had a parts car. I later found a near perfect TR4 and sold the first car for parts. Lesson learned. I purchased a 75 914 three years ago from an owner in York, PA. The reason I purchased it was that it had a California title. The floor pans, trunks and longs were solid. There was some rust along the rear firewall due to the rear window leaking and the hell hole had some issues. The car sat on jack stands for a year as I pulled the motor, fixed the rust issues, rebuilt the suspension, brakes, fuel injection, and a whole lot more. Again, it was a California car, and still needed a lot of work.
My point is keep this car for parts and look for a solid tub in CA. They come up quite often, just be patient. This will give you a solid and SAFE car to start your project. Better yet, sell this car and take the money you would have spent and get a nice solid driver that you can enjoy while restoring it. Nothing is more disappointing than spending lots of time and money, becoming frustrated, and loose interest with your project. Look in the classifieds, there are many unfinished projects for sale that had good intentions. Trust an old mans judgment, been there, done that. Like Kenny Rodgers says, "you have to know when to hold'm, know when to fold'm, know when to walk away and when to run".
Looking at your car it looks like it came from New Jersey. Unless you are a very experienced welder and tin bender with a shop and all the equipment, I would run.
thanks Geezer!
I am actively looking for a replacement car. While I am at it though I am giving this car a thorough run through.
To be honest I am not sure where this car originated? Other than my time I haven't spent much on this car. Tune up stuff to get it running... that being said the 2.0 that came out of this car might be its only redeeming factor.
The Previous Owner had a folder of goods showing that it was rebuilt by a mechanic who works at Infineon Raceway... shoot I think its Sonoma Raceway now?
Anyhow.. maybe I'll try and sell the running 2.0 and part the rest. Not sure yet!
I am stubborn... I rarely learn when to quit. I have owned a lot of cars. 1965 Mustang Fastback, 1966 Mustang Coupe, 1975 Porsche 914 2.0.. Had a number new model mustangs as well. 2002 GT and a 2004 40th anniversary addition that I cloned into a Roush Stage 3. After that I bought a 2005 Roush Sport. A few years of having that I bought the 74 you now see here!
I really want to make this 74 whole again...
Yes, Infineon bought the name rights to Sears Point, and eventually decided not to pay for them any more, so the name changed again to Sonoma Raceway.
--DD
DD,
Since moving to the North Bay the name has changed so many times. I still call it Sears Point when it comes up in conversation.
So I just received a quote to have my 914 completely media blasted.. Inside and out the estimated cost is 1300$. I do believe the company blasting is mobile so they will come to me if desired.
The question I have is that a reasonable cost? Seems high to me given the size of the car. Also considering the condition of the car makes me think its not a value.
Thoughts on this?
Thank in advance!
JB
Pretty typical cost on the east coast. Only do it if you plan to restore the car. Don't do it just to check for rust. Use some hand power tools to search for rust. Wear proper eye and breathing protection. The guys on this board will tell you were and how to look. Theres always 10X more rust than you think.
This kind of falls under the heading of..."if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it."
From the pictures you've shown, the cost of media blasting would turn out to be miniscule compared to what you'll spend down the road. What if it was only $1000 instead of $1300? Would that change your perspective? Spending $1300 could save you thousands in the long run, but if that expenditure seems excessive, you're in for a long, sad story. Just my $.02.
Don't take it the wrong way. People here are passionate. Tough love but a great group of guys. If you like 914's, your already part of the club/world.
Hey, If you want to tackle the work, go for it! My car had a good deal more work than I thought I would, however nowhere to the extent yours does. When I tackled my project (still ongoing, though the car is now on her feet and running and driving) I thought I was going to be able to do things in small stages and piecemeal it together, which was very much not the case. I do highly recommend to try and do that, bite off small parts to do, make a list (dont look at it too often, you will get discouraged) but finish small stuff, have a beer and feel accomplished. Brushing up on my welding skills was interesting, but through support of guys on here and family friends with 914s, I know my car probably has more rust hiding somewhere, I have to drop the engine soon and patch a part of the drivers side firewall. Sorry for rambling, but just take your time and your project will pay dividends to you, and you will feel great saving a car too.
Here's the good part:
You have what looks to be a really good drive train there. A 2.0L makes anything you put it in fun to drive and a decent value. No matter what happens with the tub, you have that.
Did you take a look at LeftCoastErik's thread? He's working through some unexpected rust and repair issues. Even found a previous repair on his car with a green section grafted in (not a huge problem if done correctly). If you or your friend are at his skill level you're all set.
You really have to take that tub down to the bare metal like he did and check the whole thing. There is a lot of rust in your center tunnel, like water was getting in there regularly. Looks like the floor pans might have been treated with POR15 or something like that which could just be masking the issues. Media blast it, grind it off, however you want, but start with a fresh palette to work from with no surprises. The good news is that most of the repair panels are available if you want to do the work. The reason you're getting recommendations to move the parts to another tub is that it's a LOT of work to repair rust. But..if you want to do it we'll cheer you on. Go for it. Take a look at Veltror's thread. Now that's a car that was almost gone. Don't think it's done yet but he is determined.
BTW McMark had a flared roller for sale for a while. Not sure if he still has it but he is in the Bay area (until he moves). Marathon Blue originally.
Update:
So after several late nights and hours of searching, as well as the great advice from the members here... I do believe I have found the solution to my 74 rust woes.
In an effort to not ruin a good thing I will hold off on going into too much detail. Need to finalize the deal first.
stay tuned for more updates!
Cheers
I plead the 5th...
Lets just say that one possible deal lead to another more realistic deal for my needs!
This is what you need to do to your 74. [attachmentid=507

Tim,
Appreciate the pictures. Really does put the job into perspective when you see it laid out like that.
I wont give up on the 74 just yet, but the new direction I am going will certainly get me in a working and driving 914 sooner than later.
The next few weeks are definitely going to be exciting for me!
Cheers
JB
Update:
Since I am waiting on a new addition to my 74 project (HINT: its 42 years old and has a color code of L96M) I thought I would spend some time with the 2.0 getting it cleaned up and just overall see how things look.
The 74 sat for what I think was about 6 years. As most of the previous pictures show there are a lot of webs and nests of sorts covering the car.
Anyhow... Here are some shots of a near naked 2.0.
Fuel Inject and most of the wiring harness removed: Just wiping down the tin made a big difference in cleanliness.

That about does it for that. I have the 901 ready for a trip to Mark at Original Customs to get looked at. Figured I might as well use their services before the move. It will also give me some time to sneak a peak at the "new addition".
Stay Tuned,
Updates and more pictures soon.
Cheers

For this project I leave you with the final update. At least for some time. I am moving in a different direction. If your curious please check things out here

Pull that pressure plate and make sure the clutch is in good shape while you're there. This will also make sure it's free. In some cases the flywheel clutch and pressure plate will stick/rust together. Happened to me on a Datsun 280Z once.
Actually you don't need a thin wall. If you look at your 13mm socket, you'll see there is a taper where the nut goes in. If you grind this taper off the socket will actually grab.
