My 16 year old son, "The Stripper"







Car stripper.
We started stripping the parts we need off the parts car.
Started with the front trunk lid and moved on to the headlights.

This is where we stopped for the night.




I forgot to take pictures of the 911 suspension we got from Ric.

I need to find out what kind of brakes we got so we can send them back up to SLC so PMB can do a rebuild.



Nathan and I will be picking up the pace so he can drive it to school this fall.
I was hoping to have it 100% complete this year but now we are looking at getting it 100% mechanical/drivable this summer and we will worry about finishing bodywork and paint next summer.

He is enjoying it and I'm loving the time we spend together. I've got two years before he heads out to college and they are going to go by way too fast.
I remember the very first time I held him the day he was born like it was yesterday and today I rode shotgun with him driving on the freeway for the very first time.
Excuse my french but, how the hell did he go from a newborn to driving in the blink of an eye????



This went from my car to our father/son project and the plan is that it will be his car in the end.

He just finished drivers ed yesterday and did great. Now he needs to learn to drive a manual so I will be taking him out in my 944 while we get the 914 running.

Looking for some advice/information.

I am trying to clean up the engine a bit before installing it.
It looks like the intake plenum is attached to the engine case by bolts that hold the case together.
Is that correct?
If I remove those bolts will I risk causing an oil leak? I know they are on the top of the case so any leak/seep should be small but I don't want to go down that road if I can help it.

The engine came from a good running car. It was pulled out by PMS for one of their 3.8 6 conversions.

No problem, just unbolt it and take it off. Re-torque all the case bolts when you put everything back together and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the info Mark.

On to my next question.

Does anyone know which version of 911 M-caliper brakes are these? The 69 model year or the non-69 model year?

I replaced the single gate to the back yard with a double gate and closed down the shop in central Phoenix. Spent the last two weekend building a shed and moving the car/tools/parts/etc home. The car is now right next to the house where we can work on it much faster and easier.

The project is the side yard at my house. It is too hot to work on it outside during the summer in phoenix so...



We just made a deal on this...

Spent most of it's life in Phoenix and Tucson.

Good runner, lots of chips in the paint. A few rust spots but very, very solid.

It is a 71 showing 114K miles. At some point in it's life someone swapped in a side shift transmission.
We made the deal, put a deposit down and we pick it up in two weeks(traveling too much sucks).

Here was the ad for it.

The green 914 has it's own thread so I will get this one back on track. I hope to get working on this project soon but I have a 944 S2 engine to rebuild as a turbo for my next project.

While there isn't much work being done, I am still in the hunt for parts. I just picked these up for this 914 project. There is a story to tell but I'll wait a few days for it to finish.

The wheels are Starke Design SC16. Tirerack used to sell them but now I can find almost no information about them. Is anyone familiar with Starke wheels?

This project just got pushed back some more.
I finally got on the schedule at the machine shop to get the work done on the 944 S2 block and head.
After waiting a year and a half, I drop the parts off on 1/1/2012
