So i decided that the car is running well enough that I can start getting to some of the more minor maintenance needs. Time to clean the ground points right? Start with the easiest ones first. I go for the negative battery cable. The ground point stud is rather rusty so I hit it with some WD-40. I start loosening the nut and then it tightens up as I turn it. I change direction and tighten the nut back up, add more WD-40 and start again. I turn the nut, it gets difficult again, then the stud snaps off! Anyone want to buy a 914 cheap? Doesn't start at the moment but I promise it runs (for a while). So what now? Looks like I have to cut a hole through the sail panel to replace the stud. Anyone ever done this before? I swear I have never had such trouble with a car before in my life! Glad I didn't decide to replace vacuum lines, the engine probably would have exploded.

QUOTE(Ctrout @ Aug 7 2004, 06:40 PM) It's 30 but I've owned a 1966 Mustang in 1989 and a 1965 Mustang in 1998 and they were relatively trouble free. My daily driver before I bought the 914 was a 1984 Bronco II. I still drive it and it is very reliable. I hear ya. The 911 is just hitting 25 and it has been a remarkably reliable car. Still there are little things that it has needed. Hang in there, pretty soon we'll all own the classics of yesteryear. |
