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) |

Well I took a good look at the drivers side long and that side rear jack-point is okay. The plate has a rust hole but I've got the car up on the jack-point. So pulling the heater hoses out the back isn't an option right now. I thought briefly about cutting a hole in the wheel house to pull that out, but that's good metal and I really don't want to bugger up a high stress area like that. So I'm leaving that junk in the long for now. I did strip the tops of both longs, cleaned and treated. I used the last of my first small can of POR 15 and covered the tops and interior sides. I also sprayed metal prep into the passenger side long, flushed and dried that really good with a heat gun. I don't know if that will help but it certainly can't hurt either.
