Hi 914World,
New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
Looking forward to this one! |

Well, it's been a month but I was finally able to align the stars and bring my project home to my garage where I can work on it much more frequently.
Here it is all loaded up on the rotisserie with remaining parts from the 72 parts car: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503450.1.jpg) In transit: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503450.2.jpg) Finally home! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503450.3.jpg) O/T - correct me if I'm wrong, but is the aluminum crossmember exclusive to the 911? It came out of the 72 parts car: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503451.4.jpg) Well, I wasted no time and dug in to start the sheet metal repairs. As I cleaned off the paint, the rust holes kept getting bigger... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503451.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503451.6.jpg) Backside: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503451.7.jpg) I was able to fill a few small holes with the welder, but there are three main areas that will have to be gutted (under the trunk latch mount, and under the two side support mounts?) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503452.8.jpg) All holes cut: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503452.9.jpg) Likely going to have to recreate the bottom 2cm or so of these support braces: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503452.10.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503452.11.jpg) Here's some rusty porsche for everyone: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503453.12.jpg) After taking measurements, decided to go ahead and fill in the trim holes so I can run without vinyl & cross-trim: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503453.13.jpg) Also O/T, but does anyone know what these carpet nail looking things are for around the rear taillights? I'm thinking they need to be pulled and filled: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503453.14.jpg) Decided to cut into the sail panel and see if there was any rust due to the foam seal inside. I figured there might be as there was some surface rust on the outside of these panels. Surprisingly, it is very clean inside. May not cut open the other side: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503453.15.jpg) At least I have the right sized patch panel? I'm going to coat the inside with rust-proofing before I seal it back up: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1481503454.16.jpg) That's where I'm stopping tonight. I realized I don't have any sheet metal lying around, so I will have to track some down to make patches. |
