As some of you may know I had all but given up on the teener and had started looking into other project options and had looked at parting out the 914.
I talked to the Mrs. to let her know what was up with whole thing, only to have her tell me " Don't part it out, I want to see it up and running". NOT what I had expected to hear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) So three hours later the motor and tranny are out of the car. The gas tank is out (to see if the rust problem had reached anything there and replace the fuel lines while I have her down). My lastest rust estimate is a little better since I have had the motor out. floor pans (front and rear) center tunnel repairs at the firewall inner firewall cross member (both sides) the peddle assembly all works smootly but I am not sure of the mount battery tray inner upper fender well (right behind the battery) Imagine filling a 914 with water and letting it sit. Where ever the water would sit the longest. That is what need replacing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

I swear I think it was a testosterone overdose from the baby. She has been around cars and racing her whole life but hasn't been real big on having a big project going at the house.

I see way too many aircooled VWs in this area with a big motor, big carbs, crappy brakes, and heater tubes you can see the ground through. They're not nearly as vital as a 914's longs, but still not a good situation. My first line of work for this is going to be "rustoration". No drivetrain parts till the tub is done and ready for a fat boy like me to get in without breaking her back.
