Well, I purchased another teener yesterday, red '74 2.0l with center console, front and rear sway bars. A new member, Chris Spence, had the car for sale locally. I looked at the car last weekend and decided I 'needed' another project car to work on. We completed the deal yesterday. I talked with Paul (URY914) and he agreed to help me transport the car from Chris' house to my new shop, thanks again Paul....
The car is drivable, but it's making a 'strange and expensive' knocking noise, so I felt it would be prudent to tow the car, then have an engine 'expert' diagnose the problem..... Here are the pics.... This is the pre-purchase side shot Chris sent me.... Attached thumbnail(s) |

More engine compartment clean up...
When I dropped the engine I noticed that the right rear suspension ear had been repaired in the past. Someone had done a lot of welding and didn't bother to grind/clean it up. So I decided to grind it down and see what the issue was.... Well here's a shot of the weld gone and a nice rusted hole .... So I spent the day removing the suspension ear... BTW, I've seen other, more experienced 914ers remove theirs, but I had to remove mine in about 2-dozen pieces. The worst part was removing the factory applied strap welded underneath, in 2 places.... Anyway, here's a shot of it removed.... I have the part on order and expect to receive it next week.... -- Rob |
