Dont jack it up again from under the front board, it suffers and is pressed.up. love your courage to take on such a challenging long project . Good luck!
i have some pads as well as blocks of wood ( i save and collect these whenever i can ).. this gives me something to put jacks or jackstands on to raise them as needed ( which is often depending on what one does ) .. pads can be multiple layers of plywood or plywood and wood pieces combined ... having these makes a safer work place....nothing sucks more than having your project / repair vehicle fall on you...because you didn't support it safely....i also stack my blocks and pads to hold up a project...even if doing something quickly it can drop without warning..hydraulic jacks are not dependable enough to hold a load alone.... wirk smart and Safe..and you will not be injured or dead
@teleosus1 0 seconds ago Interesting even though some aspects of the 914 are more difficult to work on because of more stuff and the mid-engine design, in other ways like the suspension and steering, it seems simpler to remove and repair. And those longitudinal forward torsion rods, much different than the Beetle.
it works but is pretty useless to work easily on a vehicle....you can make ( well i can ) a metal one for pretty cheap that will allow better mobility ( his is made to roll only but you could add casters ) and also spin better overall..sometimes cheap is exactly that...fibd used cheap steel and fab one up ..for 1/4 the cost of a bought one...
@@CTmoog it is a plywood fabrication that bolts on and allows you to roll it partway over basically....not that bad but pretty minimal and i'd rather build a proper metal one that can be rolled and rotated better..and the setup can be in the way at times ..and too low too..but check it out and decide for yourself
Another similar design is that lady made on for her VW bus...big metal rings that let you turn the chassis ( that is a old design i saw decades ago....anything works if you figure out what you like....i prefer the classic design that has casters and mounts mainly out of the way in bumper area ( still can be in the way but an adaptor can be made to get it away for work there ) another add on is hydrauluc jacks to raise or lower the chassis as needed ( mainly to balance but can help to adjust work height too )... i'd build one as it can be alot cheaper ( if you are thrifty and handy )
I didn't realize the 914 had a steering rack like that... NICE! Those front floor tubs are a bit crunchy. Those will be fun to tackle... If that's the worst of it, you're going to be sailing through the sheet metal.
I didn’t know the 914 was rear mid engined like a Boxster/Cayman until lately, I thought it was rear mounted like a 911, Karmann Ghia or Beetle. Now I have 914 Autocross fantasies in my head.
I’m a little confused, is this the same car you were posting videos of about a year ago? I seem to recall you working in the hell hole, then you stopped posting. Is this the same car or do different?
I've owned 4 in the last few years. Didn't do much to them. I sold 3 last year to fund the 1965 beetle project. I found this one a few weeks back. It will be a complete restoration. Stay tuned!
It gets a whole new life. Most of the dents and breaks on the chassis is repaired / restored / filled with sealant / ignored :D . It has a working motor (from another beetle / project) and some electronic to be on the road again. But a complete wire harness missing, and there is no interior. Just the meters and the driver's seat.
actually those rotors can be re-used in my opinion great the you saved this 914
Hi CT! Good job! But be careful: she tried to kill you! Will it be the Porsche version of Christine?😂
Keep on it brother!! I always thought the 914 was a cool car!!
Yes, they are really cool cars and fun to work on. I can't wait to take it for spin! 😎😎😎
@@CTmoog absolutely brother! Please don’t forget your camera when you do go for a ride. We all want to go with you. That would be great.
Take time as you deconstruct to notice how stuff goes back together..if it Ever goes back together it helps you...🇨🇦🤓👍
I still remember many details from working on my 74 2.0. But that was back in 1985. Great memories here, thank you CT 😀 !
Thanks Mac! =)
Im so grateful that you filmed in full extent. Very detailed and encouraging.
The GHOST of Projects Past..visits you...must be Xmas time?? 21;27 😂 🇨🇦🤓👍
haha! =) good to see you back buddy!
good blooper and good reflexes
Thanks Terry! =)

Hi Ct
You should washed the car as soon it was ready.
Keep at it CT, you’re doing great!
Thanks Stephen!
Yes, finally on the dolly ! Great 👍 CT
Can't wait to see the pressure washing .
The Technical term for unknown parts are ...
Thingamajig
or
Whatchamacallit
those cover all parts you don't know and are interchaneable !!
🇨🇦🤓👍
Great video!
1:38 Thanks for wearing long underwear, Crack is back.
Also use smaller jack stands.
914 Porsche is a Wonderful car 🚗
you should add one of those tow bar setups to every one of your project vehicles 😂 come in handy if you ever drive them?? 😂 🇨🇦🤓👍
a universal joint (on the steering shaft)
trial by fire.....slept through it.....
Those 914’s can cause a real headache 😂😂😂
I hope you show the body restoration!
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this car. These 914s are really cool little cars!
We call it a 9/13 because the screw and bolt sizes

You have cat reflexes - 😆
The rotisserie design that Elin yakov uses on rusted beauties would probably work for you as well and it's cheap
ok cool. I will check it out! Thank you! =)

Why aren’t you using the safety pins on your jackstands?
Good video sir

I was watching your video on 914 engine removal and "hell hole" assessment...did it disappear? Is it possible to repost?
Another good name for a car CT, "Just a little dusty"
I didn’t know the 914 was rear mid engined like a Boxster/Cayman until lately, I thought it was rear mounted like a 911, Karmann Ghia or Beetle. Now I have 914 Autocross fantasies in my head.
Update?
soon - next week
Did you sell the green/red 914?
Will you sandblast the chassis? Or a chemical dipping as you mentioned in erlier video?
Man, I’d love to see an acid dip after this level of dismantling.
🤗👍⭐💯
yes shims
What happened to the imperial?
What color do you plan to paint it?
Porsche - L-31M Scarlet Red

🆒😎! Keep it going on my favourite car?
Sorry I know nothing about Volkswagen. Anyone can tell me why this car doesn't have spring? Coil spring or leaf spring?
What happened to the VW. I followed you on the VW for weeks then it stopped. I’d really love to know😊
there are 48 videos in the playlist for the 65 VW beetle and more to come! =) Thank you! =)

Was that a torsion beam that almost split your Uncle Fred (head) apart?
How much would an acid bath for the body of this car cost?
First
awesome! =)
