The steering column switch cover has 2 screws, then the cables can be pulled off and the ignition lock screw unscrewed. However, this screw is a shear-off screw that breaks off when tightened. So you can only loosen it with a chisel and then unscrew it. If you know , quite simple. It's just the old VW technology. The wiper linkage should actually only come out together with the wiper motor and not be screwed any further.

Ferdinand Piech was working with his father-in-law (who was the top dog at VW). He died and his successor decided to REALLY mess with the deal they had...which is one reason why Porsche killed it off after only 6 years and stopped offering the 914-6 even sooner.
@mikedx2706
11 ай бұрын
@@ianhardin1148 The original deal was just a handshake deal between both of the old top dogs at VW and Porsche. When the top guy at VW died, the replacement VW guy claimed that there wasn't any deal and made Porsche agree to a new, written contract at a price that was much higher than the handshake deal's price. As a result, that new, higher, price, made the car more expensive for Porsche, which is why the 914-6 cars sold so poorly, because they were overpriced at the retail level compared to a Porsche 911. The 914-4's were only sold in the USA as Porsches, while in the rest of the World the 914'-4's were sold as VW-Porsches, as you noted. Between 1970 and 1976, the 914's got more and more expensive because the US Dollar was dropping in value in the 1970's relative to. the German Mark, which was becoming much stronger at that time and make all German products much more expensive in the USA. Even against that background, the 914 was the single biggest selling model that Porsche ever made until the SUV Cayene came along in the 21st Century.

taking this 914 down to its bare bones is a Brave Endeavor, but these cars are worth it, to me. I’ve owned a ‘75 2.0L since ‘93 as a teenager & I’ve found that you either love or hate 914s. the Porsche community seem to have come around to them more lately, but have traditionally excluded them from conversation. the VW community has enjoyed the 914 since their birth, as you may expect from them. so, I take my 914 to VW events before any Porsche event for obvious reasons. I’m always asked to park in the featured/displayed areas at VW events, regardless of what my intentions are & it shows me that I’m where I need to be. best wishes to all of you here…let’s save all that we can.

It very much depends on the maker and type of the car, but I found out that some replacement parts are extremely hard to find, and horrendously expensive!

Of course, Speedos are in km/h, not mph. Maybe somebody can cannibalize this part of a car to be scrapped. Repair could be a problem, as the gauges (electronic!) have been totally soaked in water!

That tar needs to be completely removed with paint thinner or acetone, and carefully scrapping it off with a plastic tool or bead blasting it. The Relay Board is is totally analog: just a bunch of copper strips of metal riveted to the board. It's an early version of an electronic printed circuit board, just made using rivets and thin strips of copper sheeting. There is nothing magic about it. Once the tar is removed. you can then go around and re-punch/tighten all the rivets to make sure they are still tight and testing each trace for good continuity. Then you simply spray the bottom of the Relay Board with a black bed liner material to make it sealed up again. Presto, one Relay Board that will last for another 50 years.

Glad you’re getting some good sponsors with cool gear, but you need to be careful with any lithium battery powered devices. If the battery gets hot to the touch, like you can’t hold it without hurting, get it outside and away from anything that could catch fire if it does go up. Do not keep an electric bike in the house when charging. lithium battery fires are rare, but because we are using them more often and in more products we are seeing more instances of lithium battery fires. If one catches fire DO NOT let the smoke even get on your skin. The toxicity of a lithium battery fire is deadly. DO NOT underestimate that fact. Hopefully the batteries in these products were not made in China, and were made to a higher quality standard that what we have been seeing lately. Please be safe, bro, we want to see your projects make it to their completions.

I certainly hope you are current on your tetanus vaccination. The more of these 914 videos that I watch, the more I shudder to think how bad the rust is on that 914 since it was flooded in salt water. As you probably know from owning other Porsche 914's, there was absolutely no rust preventive treatment given the 914 bodies; they were lucky to get painted in the unseen areas. Are you going to do a complete disassembly of the engine and transmission soon? I hope so, because salt water is not friendly to combinations of different metals that are in close contact with each other. The aluminum, magnesium, steel, cast iron, and copper found in the mechanical parts will soon start marking an unholy alliance with the help of the salt water. Time to start looking for another body shell where you can use the engine, transmission, and suspension from this one to make one complete rebuilt 914.

As one can see on this Porsche 914, Audi's introduction of fully zinc - plated car bodies (must have been sometime in the early 1990s) really made sense!

Frees frame at 33:20 you should see the 5 of 6 yellowish knobs you should have removed, first, to separate the hood, top dash, from the frame, accessed by pulling the gauges out, then reaching inside. That would have made it easier to pull the rest apart. Now you will have a bit of an issue separating the top dash from the facia frame, since there are studs at 90 degrees you need to navigate to separate or reassemble. The facia frame is not as easy to replace as the top dash, since 914Rubber makes a great top dash replacement.

Yes, those yellowish knobs are nylon nuts that hold the plastic formed dash top to the metal dashboard frame. Virtually impossible to re-install them with the dash board still bolted to the carbody.

@@mikedx2706 I was able to get to all those top dash nuts and replace my top dash with one from 914Rubber by watching the video they did. The difficult part was getting the studs to line up and the angle right since there are studs at almost 90° to each other. But yes the bottom or knee pad dash had to come off first. I did not have to remove the center dash frame to do all that.
