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) |

I found him on Craigslist, Travis and he said he knows 914's (his buddy has one). IIRC he's down off 211? I don't believe I got his name, just called and chatted for a minute, told him I would come down to see his work, hadn't made it yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It would be nice to know who the buddy is that has a 914, maybe he has parts...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
