My 914-6 GT / 916 project car started out as a stock 1975 2.0 carbureted 4 banger. I bought it in 1986, by 88 it had a 2.7 six in it with MSDS motor mount, headers and muffler. I also purchased brand new over the counter PMO 40 webers with manifolds for $1000.00. Those were the days!! I bought the tank, oil lines and tin over the counter from Porsche.
In 2000, the 2.7 started pulling head studs, so I replaced it with a 3.2 from a wrecking yard. In 2005 I sold the car and then bought it back 4 years later to the day. I later noticed that the inner wheel well had broken loose. Now starts the project of converting it from a race car back to a street car. I removed the battery tray this weekend for a better observation. It looks like battery acid caused the seam welds to rust. Which from racing caused the seam to separate. I bought the Harbor freight camera. I will try to get some internal shots next weekend to look for other rust damage. Looking at these pictures, what is the best way to repair this? This is a shot of the crack inside the wheel well. The rest of the shots are of the seam on the inside. I will also need to order an Engine shelf. This one is pretty toast. The battery tray is not that old, but was a bitch to get out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Thanks in advance for the help!!!! |

Any other upgrades before it goes in? Thanks!! I'm keeping the AC. Besides 3.6 gauges, I also bought 1 3/4" MSDS headers to try out. I also upped the 3.6 valves 1mm and added RS cams. I will also add a steve wong chip to the DME. Hoping to have it converted by next summer. Hard to find time with work and family. |
