New to this forum but I've been around 944s, 924Ss, Boxster and Cayman forums for years.
This one is going to take some time. Purchased for $900, non-running but otherwise complete '73 914 2.0. Certainly just beyond a viable restoration car but probably okay for what I plan to do with it. Here's some highlights of the tear down... On the trailer going to the house. Attached thumbnail(s) |

The wife ran me out of the house while Christmas dinner was being prepared so what else do you do after opening gifts? Actually, she's quite wonderful and knows me SO well. I've got a couple hours and I'm on the rust spot under the passenger vent. It's two bad spots and I'm going to combine those. Cutting around the connecting vent hole for metal that's flat (that hole is recessed). I did one patch and will add another for the upper-vent area. In fact, I think I'm going to wrap that patch all the way up and eliminate that vent hole completely. I know I'm going to grind off the dash mount bracket near the door so I might as well make that area one smooth surface. The only purpose I can foresee would be to possibly have the roll cage extend through that vent hole (I've seen some photos of that) but it's unlikely I'll have a roll cage system that complex.
