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) |

Last night's patch was tough. The battery tray area of the wheel house had two holes. At first I was going to just cut that area out but I enlarged the patch to join up with a previous patch in the lower corner. Three sides were butt welded and on the bottom I lapped into the good metal inside the wheel house with spot welds. Making the bends was very difficult. Trying to beat the sheet metal in the small space of the wheel house was not fun. I worked the tack welds from the front to the back and had to split the patch to make the rear bend. I think next I'm going under the long to patch the hole that was under the suspension console. Then I'll be ready to attach the RD suspension console new part.
