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 |

Update:
Since I am waiting on a new addition to my 74 project (HINT: its 42 years old and has a color code of L96M) I thought I would spend some time with the 2.0 getting it cleaned up and just overall see how things look. The 74 sat for what I think was about 6 years. As most of the previous pictures show there are a lot of webs and nests of sorts covering the car. Anyhow... Here are some shots of a near naked 2.0. Fuel Inject and most of the wiring harness removed: Just wiping down the tin made a big difference in cleanliness. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651553.1.jpg) an over head: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651553.2.jpg) almost all the tins removed: Had to take a break and have lunch (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651553.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651553.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651554.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651554.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1436651554.7.jpg) That about does it for that. I have the 901 ready for a trip to Mark at Original Customs to get looked at. Figured I might as well use their services before the move. It will also give me some time to sneak a peak at the "new addition". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Stay Tuned, Updates and more pictures soon. Cheers Nemi |
