Disassembly has begun. This appears to be a recurring theme - I buy a car that doesn't run, then I make it drivable, then I take it apart, then I make it drive again, then I take it apart...

That's precisely why one needs two of them ... one to drive while restoring the other one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Well, I guess since I only have one 914, I'll have to console myself by driving the other P-car.

Nice. Just lifted my '66 up in the air this afternoon ... getting ready to send some calipers up to Eric for 'restoration' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Dropped off both front and rear deck lids to be base/acid stripped. Handy that these guys are local. http://metaldipping.com

This will eliminate any rust in the crimped seam between the frame and skin. Highly recommended by body and paint people.

Also, have soaked both seat belts in a bucket of hot, soapy water, rinsed and let dry. They work amazingly well now. Very happy with this.

Disassembly and paint prep continues. Aiming for mid-week to get into paint shop. Can't work on it tomorrow because we'll be in the 911 on a PCA drive. More work on Sunday, though, and the windshield should come out on Monday.

Both lids back from the stripper. Impressive! No filler found in either lid. Had the heater parts stripped too, way easier than me cleaning all the built up oil crud off of them.

Pulled the final bits out yesterday, then had the windshield removed today. Good news there, no new rust found under the glass. Goes to the painter tomorrow morning.

Looks like you are going to drive it there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Indeed. The tail lights are now held in place with just a single nut, and the license plate a single bolt. I will drive it there and remove those bits, the shop will have a very bare canvas to work on.

I'm pleased that I haven't found much other rust to deal with, just a little in the front trunk seal channel. Add to that the fact that the car is VERY straight, so perhaps this will go fairly quickly.

The progress you are making on this car in such a short time is remarkable. This is going to be a great car for the lucky person to acquire it once you have completed the restoration.

Agreed on both counts. It is progressing much faster than I planned/expected, and it is shaping up to be a nice example. Not pristine or show quality, but a really great weekend driver.

Dropped it off with the painter today. Initial discussion went well. Side marker wart holes will be welded up, everything else fairly standard. I will be checking back with him later this week.

In the mean time, I've got a lot of parts to clean, and a whole pile of new rubber and such to order. "Hello, 914rubber.com?"

I've been on the road for a few days, but some stuff was done before I left. In general, I'm going through the piles of removed parts, sorting, cleaning, refurbishing and then setting them aside for later. I've repaired the clock (running fast for now, slowly backing off the adjustment), had the rip in the driver's seat repaired, and spiffed up the headlight mechanisms and the engine lid grill. Will be working on the tail light housings next. Also have begun ordering the parts I will need for reassembly. SMC has a nice sale on the windshield trim parts now, so that is already ordered. Will be placing a good sized order with 914rubber.com in a few days, as soon as I finish compiling the list of needed parts.

Not many pictures of the stuff. A before-after of the seat repair, and a boring picture of the clock ticking away.
