70-914-6 Clean Up, MORE: ICE ICE BABY,,,,,SUPER DRY Options

1970, 914-6, 93K miles - excellent shape, very minor rust

I will post to this thread occasionally as I move through this project, I have asked for guidance and received many good thoughts from this team - thank you 914World

I am in the midst of removing the engine and transmission. All original. There is oil everywhere, not flowing but seeping - seems that the valve covers are not tightened or have loosened with age. Here are the first pics:

On the rack - hopefully not for long:



Shift Assembly is very clean, no wear, bushings are in good shape but all of them will be replaced







Heat exchangers have no holes in the pipes that I could find, the surrounding tin has been treated with anti-rust leakage - perhaps this was the plan in Stuttgart?







No plans to change the exhaust system - any guidance as to cleaning or preservation?

All comments and guidance appreciated - engine coming down on Friday

Back from the ICE house, good kid, hard working - smelled like his shop needed an exterminator, I have heard the south shore of MA is infested with Skunks,,,,,,well this shop has a few.......

Very cool dry ice setup - no, i did not take pictures of the setup. However here is the dry-master.

He treated the Frunk/Trunk/All underside including all running gear front and back. Cleaned all of the wheel wells, removed most of the Zeibart (does anyone know if the 914-6 had optional undercoating from VasakPolock Hermosa?)

Here are a few pictures.

Fuels lines next and then engine goes back in.

Engine Bay - was covered in Black

Just like the the underside of the trunk as seen in this picture to the right towards the back



Wheel Well - before ICE, does anyone know what that stuff is? Zeibart?



Car was dry iced and then waxed - wheels too
