Porsche 914 Restoration | Front & Rear Suspension Removed

[@macstone9719]

I still remember many details from working on my 74 2.0. But that was back in 1985. Great memories here, thank you CT 😀 !

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Mac! =)

[@dolf1010]

Yes, finally on the dolly ! Great 👍 CT Can't wait to see the pressure washing .

[@commanderjoe011]

Im so grateful that you filmed in full extent. Very detailed and encouraging.

[@Devon_Architect]

Keep at it CT, you’re doing great!

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Stephen!

[@josephhunt2478]

actually those rotors can be re-used in my opinion great the you saved this 914

[@SladesVWBeetle]

Keep on it brother!! I always thought the 914 was a cool car!!

[@CTmoog]

Yes, they are really cool cars and fun to work on. I can't wait to take it for spin! 😎😎😎

[@SladesVWBeetle]

@@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.

[@jonathanbach7978]

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this car. These 914s are really cool little cars!

[@GregsGarage]

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.

[@ianhardin1148]

These videos keep making it harder to not get a 914 of my own. CT peer pressure is REAL folks! Lol.

[@garymallard4699]

you should add one of those tow bar setups to every one of your project vehicles 😂 come in handy if you ever drive them?? 😂 🇨🇦🤓👍

[@Atomshamradio]

Wow CT she getting thier down to the bones 😮 have a good one CT👍

[@garymallard4699]

Take time as you deconstruct to notice how stuff goes back together..if it Ever goes back together it helps you...🇨🇦🤓👍

[@cybersurfer2010]

Those 914’s can cause a real headache 😂😂😂

[@garymallard4699]

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

[@Sigurd924]

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!

[@motorfreaknew]

Hi CT! Good job! But be careful: she tried to kill you! Will it be the Porsche version of Christine?😂

[@terryraymond7984]

good blooper and good reflexes

[@CTmoog]

Thanks Terry! =)

[@robertnauss4815]

CT your running outa years to get all these tear downs back together and finished... I'd lend you some but I'm almost 60 ...lmao

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Another good name for a car CT, "Just a little dusty"

[@skibugy]

The rotisserie design that Elin yakov uses on rusted beauties would probably work for you as well and it's cheap

[@CTmoog]

ok cool. I will check it out! Thank you! =)

[@garymallard4699]

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...

[@garymallard4699]

​​@@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

[@garymallard4699]

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 )

[@Powerwagon563]

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.

[@zetor2K]

Will you sandblast the chassis? Or a chemical dipping as you mentioned in erlier video?

[@rrs1550]

trial by fire.....slept through it.....

[@BillieWilliams-l6m]

1:38 Thanks for wearing long underwear, Crack is back. Also use smaller jack stands. 914 Porsche is a Wonderful car 🚗

[@kevincoones4368]

Hi Ct You should washed the car as soon it was ready.

[@garymallard4699]

The Technical term for unknown parts are ... Thingamajig or Whatchamacallit those cover all parts you don't know and are interchaneable !! 🇨🇦🤓👍

[@richardhill4862]

Good video sir

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

CT: "Ve hav vays to make zis Porsche ran again, you know😋!"

[@garymallard4699]

The GHOST of Projects Past..visits you...must be Xmas time?? 21;27 😂 🇨🇦🤓👍

[@CTmoog]

haha! =) good to see you back buddy!

[@Mr10usdad]

Great video!

[@Patshes]

🆒😎! Keep it going on my favourite car?

[@snowdogs59]

Man, I’d love to see an acid dip after this level of dismantling.

[@--RO--]

You have cat reflexes - 😆

[@DanGorr]

I was watching your video on 914 engine removal and "hell hole" assessment...did it disappear? Is it possible to repost?

[@mikedx2706]

H Why aren’t you using the safety pins on your jackstands?

[@andreesisario6035]

What color do you plan to paint it?

[@CTmoog]

Porsche - L-31M Scarlet Red

[@andrewwolczyk5777]

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?

[@CTmoog]

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!

[@dcmflydude6320]

Did you sell the green/red 914?

[@teleosus1]

@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.

[@joefin5900]

I hope you show the body restoration!

[@benjamindejonge3624]

We call it a 9/13 because the screw and bolt sizes

[@deebee3901]

Was that a torsion beam that almost split your Uncle Fred (head) apart?

[@LostShopGarage]

What happened to the imperial?

[@sigmafastener]

Sorry I know nothing about Volkswagen. Anyone can tell me why this car doesn't have spring? Coil spring or leaf spring?

[@terryraymond7984]

a universal joint (on the steering shaft)

[@garlandtube3]

Update?

[@CTmoog]

soon - next week

[@Leima1]

How much would an acid bath for the body of this car cost?

[@frankolivito140]

What happened to the VW. I followed you on the VW for weeks then it stopped. I’d really love to know😊

[@CTmoog]

there are 48 videos in the playlist for the 65 VW beetle and more to come! =) Thank you! =)

[@zetor2K]

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.

[@Xxxxxx.5303]

🤗👍⭐💯

[@terryraymond7984]

yes shims

[@abefehr6155]

First

[@CTmoog]

awesome! =)
