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 |

You've got a great car for starting a restoration. There's work to be done and a fair amount of checks to write, but the core car looks great to me. Its too bad that its already been taken apart and you don't have the benefit of seeing how things originally fit, but there's plenty of photos on this site to help guide the assembly. Take a close look at the sail panels where they meet the body for rust. Little bubbles on the outside are likely larger rust areas on the inside. You need to look up from the wheelwell and its a bit tight, but with a good light you should be able to check it out
and Welcome to the World |
