Waterpump area

 Nice southern car. Perfect rust free body but everything leaked. As the owner picked up her car the waterpump went.

 The owner went to work cleaning and detailing all the parts







. New waterpump,all hoses, power steering hoses,valve cover gaskets, engine pan gaskets,oil cooler gasket, front sub frame rebuild and several other coolant and oil leak locations. All factory hose clamps were updated with best quality german hose clamps. Hate those factory clamps.

 Lots of detailing with every part inspected and cleaned.

 The subframe was detailed with several worn components replaced

WOW  Check this out

 No more leaks and years of reliable fun driving ahead

Hey Guys that's not where you are supposed to sit

 Terry and his son Andrew spending some good bonding time together in a 914 engine compartment. That's Terry on the right and Andrew with the big grin. Ha Ha

It looks like it has been to the moon and back

Needs some work don't you think

Andrew fixed it just by staring at it

A Thing of Beauty

Nice Job Terry and Andrew. Truly an impressive improvement in the 914 2L

A special 914 Creamsicle gets the full treatment

A 1985 M491 ready for an engine out full refresh (3.2L engine)



The engine has only 60,000 miles, runs strong but needs a few leaks fixed .

Showing some excitement as the engine came out with no snags.

After many hours of dismantling and cleaning I have started with new oil tubes. Next the seals are all replaced.
