Sorry, no trailer. Wonder if it'll fit in a Uhaul? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Water soluble, hmm, isn't a 914 also water soluble? That rust stuff? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

It's a disease and an addiction, but we like it that way.

I don't understand you guys that like to live in the garage. I bought a nice running 914 and have racked up over 10K glorious miles in three years. Even a nice running car presents plenty of projects to get my hands dirty on.


My problem is once I get the current 914 done, which is actually my wifes, I will be looking for another project. Life doesn't feel full enough unless there is some type of project in the garage.

I have a tow vehicle, so I can just rent a uhaul trailer. I'm getting way ahead of myself now.. another symptom perhaps? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I have a dehumidifier in my garage so after the paint is all cured I could hose it out really good, dry it the best I can, and let the dehumidifier do the rest to prevent rust goblins (we need a rusting away smilie.. perhaps something that rusts into a pile and then blows away) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

yeah i never seem to have enough projects. I started w/ a real nice 944, painted, rollbar, suspension, wheels, etc etc, etc, euro bumpers, etc... Then when it was "done" to where i would need to strip the car to do anything else, then i traded it, and started on two new projects.....

This car will keep me busy for awhile, but then what?...hm.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Four guys is a good number for moving or lifting a body.

When mine came back from paint, I had six just so there wouldn't be an accident.

Is that a factory color? I like it, that looks pretty much like my dream 914 color. I noticed you took the pic at dusk to avoid burning the camera with the brightness (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Ok I went to the garage and mulled it over. Now I have some hypothetical questions for people that have "gone all the way". I have the front suspension off, and the rear suspension half off. Engine and trans are out of course, rear trunk and one door are off. The interior is stripped of all but the dash and steering column. Obviously I'll need to take off the door and the front trunk lid.

Here are the things that I noticed will have to come off (that I wasn't planning to mess with before the disease took another bite). Dash and everything in it, steering column, headlight motors, all that crap under the cowl, and the wiring harness. Are any of these super nasty jobs that I'll regret for the rest of my life?

Also what am I forgetting?

So what do you think the next step of the "while I'm in there" disease will be? Getty dash? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Only thing I can think of that's a real pain is the wiring harness.

Strip it down. You'll learn a ton. The wiring harness will be a bitch. But you'll understand where each and every wire goes. This is valuable knowledge. It's a challenge, for sure. But as I said, a solid base is worth it, IMHO.

It's a factory color, but not a 914 color. It's called 'Gelb' which is German for yellow.

That's right, no adjectives, just Gelb. That's why I chose it.

Aha. Is it a 911 color? Are you bringing the car to the WCC? I'd love to see it in person.

It's easy to take apart... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Take pictures as you remove parts.
