Now that I have the 2.0 running adequately its time to tackle the rust issues...
When I first looked this car over I was so excited about getting it I didn't look as thoroughly as I should have. The cost of excitement I suppose... Although what I am about to show you isn't nearly as bad as some of the amazing restorations I have seen on this site, I still feel it is necessary to show you what I am dealing with! My hopes are that I can be pointed in the right direction. I am partially embarrassed to even show these pictures as the rot is minimal by comparison to what I've seen some members work with... here goes nothing... all the interior removed: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590830.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.4.jpg) seat mount is completely gone: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.5.jpg) Just behind the passenger seat... directly over the jack mount area: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.6.jpg) Same area as from the previous pictures only look from under: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432591623.1.jpg) nearly completely separated from the top of the tunnel: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.7.jpg) Nemi |

Updated June 14th,
So I had some time to spend with the Porsche today. Took a pressure washer to it and knocked of some paint. Not overly enthused about what I found. Apparently I overlooked this when I first took a look at the car. Must have been my excitement.... which usually gets the best of me! Anyhow... the pictures speak for themselves: At some point this Originally Black 74 had some Green 70 pieces put on it... I'm no body worker, but it looks like the work was done well for its time... took me some time to locate the seams. Whatever the reason to replace the outer fender didn't interfere with the inner fender as the VIN is still in place. However the entire inner fender, headlight bucket and part of the front was replaced. Enjoy the pics: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1434316614.1.jpg) Looks like they stopped here! Everything to the right of it is black and not green (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1434316614.2.jpg) Inner fender VIN location. Matches whats on the Door as well as what is on my Title. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1434316614.3.jpg) Hard to see whats stamped, but you can just see the first 3 of the VIN... clearly shows a 1970 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1434316615.4.jpg) fender well: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1434316763.1.jpg) The journey gets more and more interesting! |
