I purchased two 73 914’s, for 3200 total. Great price, i believe but both cars are beautiful fust buckets. Tons of laborious work ahead. Here’s original photos from about 2 months ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For the engine tin screws, I have found a few things that help.
1- Get the correct size screwdriver. I know they're just slot-head screws, but if you get a driver that fits the slot snugly it helps. I found that the largest screwdriver I could find at my local Sears was the correct size. If you can, take one of the engine tin screws with you to check the fit against the screwdrivers in the store or in your Best Friend's tool collection. 2- Impact can help. Put the driver in the screw, then give the handle end of the driver a sharp rap with a mallet. This can, sometimes, help break a bond between the fastener and what it is screwed into. 3- Use a good penetrating oil. Liquid Wrench is OK, WD-40 is not. I like PB Blaster and Kano's Aero Kroyl. Others have said that paraffin also works if you heat the fastener. 4- Which leads us to the other big thing, heat. The "hot wrench" can help break the bond between parts. Use with caution, and make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy. --DD |
