Alright, I figured that I could start my own little thread documenting my progress on my newest toy. I am hoping to get this together with pics and descriptions of what is going on. Let's start with the before (beginning).
I have a friend that had been trying to sell this Porsche 914 for a while, I was helping him to find a buyer, but we weren't having much luck. He had applied for a job with Homeland Security (Border Patrol) and didn't really want to take it with him ( He had begun a hobby of building custom choppers). Well, at the end of October he got the call that he was hired and that he had to move in a week!!! So I decided to take him out for a going away party, I got to the local watering hole first. He walks in, sits down, I buy him a drink and we start talking. He then out of nowhere says, " So do you want that Porsche??" I said, " Of course I do, but what's the price sticker on it??" He said, " I gotta get rid of it now, so $100 and it's yours!" Needless to say, I damn near broke my finger reaching into my pocket for the money!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The rest is History. Now for the pictures.. These first ones are of the vehicle as it was when I bought it. It really hadn't been driven in about 2 years cuz he started to repair the rust. (In case you didn't notice, I live in Wisconsin (Green Bay)) ![]() ![]() |

Alright, I wasn't able to go to the car yesterday or Tuesday, but I was able to get over there today.
I took off all of the outside engine tins (only one left is the one that goes over the top of the whole engine. A few issues with gettin those stupid screws out!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Yeah, that didn't go so well. I then scraped those off so that I could be ready for the sandblasting this weekend!! After I got those off, I decided to start cleaning the engine. You see the fire completely destroyed the activated charcoal canister ( which I was told by someone that I could just forget about that and not try to find one that I could do without it??? is that true??) Out came the shop vac and a screw driver to kinda get in to where the vacuum couldn't. Then, I decided to tackle the wiring harness for the FI. Never did that before so was a little spooked for a while, but I got over it, and got it done!! Anyway, here are some pics for ya: The old harness still connected ![]() The old harness out!! ![]() New Harness in!! ![]() Parts that I'm gonna need, and I have no idea what these are nor where to get them. Plug 1 right off of the FI harness, assume that it goes to the battery, but what else I have no clue?? Any help?? Anyone got one?? ![]() The other one?? Again, no clue?? Anyone with ideas or have one of these babies?? ![]() Well, that's pretty much it for righ now. Goin to sleep now!! If any of you know what those 2 plugs are, and or have them, please respond of pm or email me!! Thanks!!! Ron Attached image(s) ![]() |
