Hello 914World -
This is Michael, also known as "That naive guy who bought a Porsche 914 project car to bring back to life while documenting the process on YouTube and HotCars.com." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI&t=27s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3nypC_odI I've been lurking here on 914World for about a month since I bought the pile of parts. Happy to find so much knowledge and camaraderie, you've already provided me with optimism and inspiration in spades. As you can see from the video and some of my articles, if you feel inclined to take a look, I clearly need professional help. And I mean both mechanically and psychologically, which is why I'm hoping to rely on the similarly afflicted fans of Porsche's maligned mid-engined masterpiece. All alliteration aside (or not), glad to be here and please stop me if I'm doing something wrong before I hurt myself or others! Thanks |

Thanks If nobody else told you yet that other motor crossbar is what you need if you go with the sideshift trans. Also a different shift linkage from lever to trans. some of which it looks like came with the newer trans. If you're going to be working under the car on the lift I would pull those drive axles out otherwise you will for sure hit your head on one at some point, ask me how I know. If you are going to roll it around much or tow it anywhere take the stub axles off the ends of the axles and push them through the hubs, without them the wheels are only held on by the wheelbearings. Where in LA are you? |
