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) |

I had the day off and was able to get the right front wheel house patched. Although it was a fairly complex area, I was able to get all the bends done with two patches. Got that area ground down and then I cleaned all the under coating off the front belly. Treated all that with Marine Clean and Metal Prep. Then I'm off to the body shop supply for the 3rd pint of POR 15. Next I'll have to move the front lift beam forward to finish the front pan welds under the longs. I might move the rear lift beam forward at the same time to prepare for engine install. Brothers VW Motorworks is shipping the long block tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
