So I inherit my sons fourteen, and, I get injection back on it. Good news! It runs and drives! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) This is gonna be my daily, while the 911 sits in the garage. Not so good news, after pulling the pedal cluster and shifter I found multiple melt spots ALL through the harness all the way up to the cluster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) So.... we tear apart the parts car, and carefully extract the harness, fender flares and other goodies, then we cut up the bad tub and threw it away over 2 weeks, that made the wife happy. The bummer for me, I have to park the 14 cause I don't want to have it burn down on me, so my daily is now my truck, no where near as fun as a 14.
I have a tub, that with a bit of rust repair will be good to go, then after paint, all the other car gets transplanted to the new tub. I'll not be staying stock with this, 5 lug, 160 hp, flared, Fuch's, the list goes on, this car will be completely rust protected and will be driven in rain, shine, snow, frogs, and locusts, you get the picture. The highest priority, will be dependability, first and foremost! Any way I'd like info from my brethren as to what you've done as far as the E-systems on your cars go. Thanx in advance.
