This may be trivial for you veterans, but
I dropped my first aircooled (and 914) motor today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Closest I've been before was dropping the tranny on the 993 for a clutch (what a PITA that was). I would say in total it was a 2 hour ordeal (some of the electrical connections had been previously disconnected and tagged). Couldn't believe how easy it was, motor, tranny, exhaust all in one drop..........LOVE IT!!! Most everything else is now been stripped, got a few interior pieces (pedal cluster, dash skeleton and removing the wiring from the car) and rear suspension/brakes etc, and then its off to be media blasted..........then the real fun begins....rust repair! I know, a walk in the park for some, but it was a big day for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Soda doesn't get the rust, just the paint. I know folks aren't fond of sand, but the car has many layers of paint/primer and a few rust spots and I want everything not worthy of remaining on the body to be blown off. I don't mind spending a little extra time making sure sand is gone from the nooks and crannies (compressed air and shop vac) and I know that care needs to be taken as so not to heat up the metal and warp it. One guy I talked to said he does multiple light passes to keep the heat down, so.......
As for the 993, I have a 4S and with the torque tube and all, it was a real PITA. I left the motor in and wedged out the tranny by the tube and the motor, won't do that again!!! And you're right, probably not much more, now I know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
