No jack point either so someone has been there before. Looks like there is a piece of welded metal under the clamp.

Yep, the PO got rid of the jack points, and enlarged the holes through the braces in order to run the oil lines forward.

When I take my car down to bare metal, I plan on NOT having jackpoints. Never use them anyway and just an area for dirt and junk to get stuck up under the rockers.

You’re forgetting that Frisco is physically a very small city, surrounded on three sides by salt water…

No, that's why I was expecting rust ( at least coastal rust), but to be more accurate, the car was from Santa Cruz. All the same to us SoCal people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

It has been a really long time, but finally got to installing the inner long kit. With the help of Rob (914_Teener), were getting it done. Truth be told, it's really Rob with the expertise and doing the work. But I am assisting(handing him tools etc) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... Figured after cutting out the cage, this could restore some strength

I remember feeling like I was maybe wrecking my car while installing the long kit.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
When the stinky smoke cleared, I had a much stiffer 914. Worth it! Much stiffer chassis. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I use the scissor jack that came with my Subaru donor car. It has a small gap in the middle that spans the flange on the bottom of the longs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A small-ish hydraulic jack can be stored in the car easily. There's easy room in the rear trunk or can be stored behind passenger seat.
It's also cheaper to pay for AAA then it is for body work to repair the jack plate areas. Attached image(s) |

Well, Rob (914 Teener) finished the inner long kit, and did a great job. Today, attempting to fit the eye candy ( pedal boards /dead pedal). Noticed my car doesn't have a clutch pedal. Must be one of them there automatics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Got rid of my jack points last time. Every time I took the rocker panels off, I watched all of the dirt and rocks and sand pour out. And this was quite often, making the amount of stuff that got up there depressing. Aluminum 944-style scissors jack now in front trunk. |

Not good to remove them. |

If you get rid of the jack points, are you going to fill in the holes on the rocker panels as well?

Thank god for these rallies, it makes me move the 914 to the front burner and get things done. Finished the hydraulic clutch install, finished the interior sound / heat proofing with seem sealer and insulation. I know several members are firmly opposed to permanent insulation, but he's a SoCal car now and won't see any wet weather.
Maddog's pedal board are very nice but needed a lot of massaging due to the new clutch pedal and lines. |
