Apparently I was waiting for something before I started a thread for work on my 914-6. Whatever - the car stopped turning over while I was between mechanics and wound up sitting with a dead PermaTune box for a couple years. Better late than never, I'll start the thread now...
It's a factory 914-6 that was modified and repainted before I got it. Steel slant-nose, Brembo GT brakes up front, old fronts moved to the rear (and original rears long gone), 3.0 liter SC motor with Webers, 6 & 7 x 16 Fuchs from an '86 Carrera, etc. Started out in Signal Orange, but it's been through at least two color changes since then (white, then black). And as of late May 2012, the odometer has just clicked over 00,000 miles (believed to be the first time based on included paperwork). VIN # 914 043 2486 Orig Engine # 64? ???? (need to order COA) Trans # 750 2505 Karmann body # 132566 (stamped inboard of lock, floor of rear trunk) Here's the standard shot of the car from pictures taken after I took delivery. Edit 8/2014: Added various ID numbers |

I've had some equipment failures recently. I did get some lumber for a couple saw horses, figuring the leftover bits could be useful for jacking pads. Since I discovered I didn't have a big enough socket for the stub axle nut, all I accomplished this weekend was actually jacking the car from the front and rear. But I noticed a couple things along the way...
This, for example, does not look good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That's forward of the passenger footwell, nose of the car is to picture left. And yes it's rusted completely through bottom and side along that lower edge. I also found two cut wires coming into the engine bay, and am wondering what they might be. I grabbed the Haynes for the 911 and looked around for the oil temp sensor, but didn't find anything - though I did get the part number to confirm that the oil cooler on the side of the motor is the original Behr 914-6 unit (901.107.059.01). Forgot to check top-side for the pressure switch/sender... Driver side first: Passenger side: While under the front, I also noticed that the/a horn had been relocated (?) to the driver side front wheel well. And perhaps the reason it isn't working is that both wires had broken off at some point... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
