Hello 914World -
This is Michael, also known as "That naive guy who bought a Porsche 914 project car to bring back to life while documenting the process on YouTube and HotCars.com." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI&t=27s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI I've been lurking here on 914World for about a month since I bought the pile of parts. Happy to find so much knowledge and camaraderie, you've already provided me with optimism and inspiration in spades. As you can see from the video and some of my articles, if you feel inclined to take a look, I clearly need professional help. And I mean both mechanically and psychologically, which is why I'm hoping to rely on the similarly afflicted fans of Porsche's maligned mid-engined masterpiece. All alliteration aside (or not), glad to be here and please stop me if I'm doing something wrong before I hurt myself or others! Thanks |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) That looks like a pretty nice car to start with. I think I would leave it on the lift and hose that thing down with Simple Green or some other degreaser and then agitate with a brush and spray it down again and then use a power washer to get as much crud as possible off then re-assess the chassis. But overall you seem to be pretty familiar with these cars, save for a couple items.
Definitely make sure the chassis is solid and any rust you may find is addressed before anything else is done. Keep posting pics/videos and people will be glad to make recommendations. No shortage of opinions on this site. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
