Got the left rocker cover off and look what I found... Just some dirt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Darn, I was hoping to see the handle of a buried screwdriver in your long....

Lucky you!


That is just evil. But I like it.

Looks good!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

As I restore my 914, I will be going without jack plates and tube. I'll have to have the rocker panel hole welded over. In my mind, this will keep some of the dirt from getting caked/caught-up in that area.


I'm thinking about doing the same. If you get it done before me, post pics.



If you are going to do that, I would suggest that you visit a wrecking yard and buy the jack and handle out of a 80's Nissan. It is a great little scissors jack that works well on the 914.

You can put it right next to the wheel and lift just one corner.

Thank you! I was thinking a bottlejack with adapter for donut, but that sounds like a better idea.

I knew it was going to be nice. I think you should pull your car off the market and reasses the value. That looks like 3-5k+ to me. It was a no brainer steal at 15. Actually, I thought long and hard about buying the car. A master suite remodel and something else got in the way money wise. Put a 2.0 in the car. Still get 15 and sell the turbo for what ever the market will bear. Then you're pushing 22-25k. Perhaps more. Congratulations rob.

Thanks Kevin! That was exactly what I was thinking too but it seemed that nobody was interested in a 'project' car such as this despite the cars condition. I just did not understand that at all!! Which is sort of why the sarcastic tone of this thread. Neener neener neener!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) It's all good.

I've decided to keep the car for now and get it to a point where it won't be considered a 'project'.
