Now that I have the 2.0 running adequately its time to tackle the rust issues...
When I first looked this car over I was so excited about getting it I didn't look as thoroughly as I should have. The cost of excitement I suppose... Although what I am about to show you isn't nearly as bad as some of the amazing restorations I have seen on this site, I still feel it is necessary to show you what I am dealing with! My hopes are that I can be pointed in the right direction. I am partially embarrassed to even show these pictures as the rot is minimal by comparison to what I've seen some members work with... here goes nothing... all the interior removed: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590830.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.4.jpg) seat mount is completely gone: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.5.jpg) Just behind the passenger seat... directly over the jack mount area: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.6.jpg) Same area as from the previous pictures only look from under: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432591623.1.jpg) nearly completely separated from the top of the tunnel: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.7.jpg) Nemi |

thanks Geezer!
I am actively looking for a replacement car. While I am at it though I am giving this car a thorough run through. To be honest I am not sure where this car originated? Other than my time I haven't spent much on this car. Tune up stuff to get it running... that being said the 2.0 that came out of this car might be its only redeeming factor. The Previous Owner had a folder of goods showing that it was rebuilt by a mechanic who works at Infineon Raceway... shoot I think its Sonoma Raceway now? Anyhow.. maybe I'll try and sell the running 2.0 and part the rest. Not sure yet! I am stubborn... I rarely learn when to quit. I have owned a lot of cars. 1965 Mustang Fastback, 1966 Mustang Coupe, 1975 Porsche 914 2.0.. Had a number new model mustangs as well. 2002 GT and a 2004 40th anniversary addition that I cloned into a Roush Stage 3. After that I bought a 2005 Roush Sport. A few years of having that I bought the 74 you now see here! I really want to make this 74 whole again... |
