Thanks so much guys. Glad to contribute to this amazing community. Bruce…you’re absolutely right about the lock down tabs. And for that matter, the tab on top of the strut needs to be bent upward and locked as well. Thanks for the note and reminder to anyone watching.
The trouble with these videos is deciding how much detail to go into. Nearly every step of restoring a car, no matter how small, is important. I don’t want these to be a “manual” since I’m not a pro, nor do I want to lead people to believe that if you “just follow these steps exactly” you’ll be as good as a pro. My main goal is to inspire people to learn more, and discover the joys of wrenching. Also, shooting every washer and bolt would be a snooze fest
That said, I’m totally open to suggestions… and welcome people pointing out important things to consider. I try to straddle the line between showing the general scope of what’s involved, some key details, and entertainment. If you guys think I should tilt things more in one direction or the other, please let me know. The one thing I always want to communicate is to work within your comfort zone and keep safety a top priority. 914s are great fun, but working on them commands respect.
Thanks as always!
