Porsche Restoration Factory@ the Ghetto Garage in my alley, the slow Ghetto Garage rebuild thread, but not as slow as proto31 Options

Ok, so I thought I'd start sharing some pics of my restoration project. I'm rebuilding my 73' 2.0L.

You ask, how did I arrive at this destitute Ghetto Garage in my alley restoration situation? Well I was driving all together too fast at a speed I will not mention (95mph) one night coming down the 405 around the Sepulvida pass when my passenger side rear wheel fell off.

I managed to coast off the freeway while teatering on two wheels it felt like (never applied the brakes)... and then I let my beloved 914 sit in the alley for a few years while I cursed it and nearly banashed it from my driveway forever.

Fortunately this year brought new inspiration when Proto31 purchased 914-6 #31 and we wagered a bet as to who could get their car driving first.

With the generous help and expertise from club member Bottomend- we pulled the engine last week and now it's time to get down to business.


Here is what was left of the Suspension Console.

REWIND<<<<< Day One: The Engine Pull


Welcome to the Porsche Restoration Factory @ the Ghetto Garage

Hey!! Is that Proto31 spying on my progress, or is he trying to sabotage my efforts thinking he's got this bet in the bag? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

dude, we need a timline or something. It took us like... 3 1/2 hours to get to this point, right!? Jacking on dirt is dirty buisness....
