Howdy Folks! Let's wash 30 years of dirt, grime and other unknown junk of this baby! Let me know what you think in the comments below. Don't be shy. I can take the heat! Do you think we can see it? Also, if your curious about the other projects please be patient. We are reorganizing the shop to make more room and better work flow. Thank you !=)
Dont EVER use ARMORALL.....It ruins stuff.
Like the strumming at the end....
If you had closed the lids tight before you pressure washed the inside would have been dry! You also talk too much and do so little trying to make yourself look knowledgeable!
If anyone can give this little pearl another shot you can CT hang in there , all you need is a green one and the set is complete (traffic light ) lol
dam she cleaned up CT👍
914 is the rarest Porsche ever.good to have this beauty back on the road again.
🆕️Barnfind ➡️ Engine demolition ➡️ Power Wash ➡️ Dismantling ➡️ Storage ↩
I think I got it now !
You forgot, rinse and repeat !!
This car, stay underwater for many years!!!Umbeliveble '76 model! "Self made mekanics".Good passion and very cool.
I sure do wish I had my first Porsche. In 1972 I bought a 1970 914-6.. At that time I worked at Road Atlanta and had free will on the track ""after hours".. Don't tell anyone~~~~! Crazy FAST little car ! I used to scare the hell out of myself and my girlfriends on that track. However, I sure do wish I could have that car back !! Great memories and great times as a young idiot ! I now drive my Porsches like they are built to drive, but NO tracking ! So much fun to daily drive..
Biggest thing is to make sure the longs are solid. Dont want the car breaking n half on ya. Yes the floor pans can be replaced. Automobile Atlanta sells replacements. Big project but worth it!
Cool, I will take a close look at them! 👍😎👍
In the 90s in my youth I'd rock that car oyeah with my iron maiden jamming on that tape player 🤘
Spider food! Spray lightly with Malathion, then go to lunch. Should take care of them for a fairly good little while. Paint color? Probably the respray was the original red, probably lacquer. Red used to fade horribly, regardless of the kind of paint, 'till the Urethanes came along. Try removing a light lens to see what color is under it. Is there a replacement for the Nader bumpers? I believe you can repaint them body color with some of the new materials, now that body color bumper covers are the thing. The "death rattle" in the engine is troubling, of course...but it may be from a stuck valve, which also might account for the miss. (Hopefully)
Definite fiddle shapes on those spiders. 95% sure those are brown recluse. You may want to leave the 914 outside of your shop until those are all gone.
When you started talking about cleaning and having feelings for the car, I felt like you were channeling your inner Bob Ross, lol. Instead of "happy little trees", there would be happy little air freshener trees.
I saw a prominent fiddle shape on one of those spiders, very likely those are recluses, I'd set some sticky traps and spray some instant death in there before you do much more poking around. Also you don't want them infesting your garage. Love that you're saving another 914 CT, those are some of my favorite cars. Go karts wish they could handle like these things do.
We have no poisonous spiders here or snakes that are poisonous...luckily
just rodents ( mice mainly sometimes rats )...
wasps yes
@@garymallard4699 Even in Tennesse ?
@@marcryvon
i'm in Canada...lol
no idea on where they are down there
@@garymallard4699 Wasps eat spiders, can't say I love em but they serve a good purpose!
@@dolfandon7124
yeah i got bit a couple years ago...doing my roof..and they nested in attic...one bit me
..man that stung... well it probably did sting me...lol..they do both.
The iconic Orange of 914’s.
So glad you cleaned the 914. Some folks like working on dirty nasty vehicles but for me I don’t look forward to working in and around mouse poop, raccoon poop etc and bug remains along with dirt and grease. Much easier to work on when cleaned up a bit.
It’s going to take some time. But, be. Patient it will happen. Will be watching. Thank you for sharing
CT's car valeting services. We remove the dirt, wasp nests, spiders and dead moce, then remove the seats, carpets and floors. CT's deep clean for fresh results to your car. lol. I love it
😂👍😎👍
Good nigth CT,,, very intersting your work on that Porche,,, the job in the deep clean,,, comes amazing,,, congrautlations for your video,,, have a good time,, l ll folow your,,, program,,, greetings,,,,your friend Oscar de Pachuca HGo Estados Unidos Mexicanos,,,
The music at the end was pretty good 😎
Did you fast forward to the end since you already know how this ends. Lol
@@robertlambert5299 haha, Well I am a few episodes ahead of you :)
@@5150mxVW I think we all know how these episodes end. Lol
I discovered the same mouse nest in my glove compartment this winter. I had moved and first time keeping the 914 in a portable garage until I can build a permanent garage. Keep up the good work. These cars deserve to be saved.
Nice! Can’t wait to see more Karmann Ghia restoration videos too!
Yeah, finish a freaking project!!
The little floor matt was your shift cover and the ice scraper fur rolls back over your hand like a glove.
Never be complete.
I always found that it is easier to work on a clean car.
Yep, a must in my book. I'm too old now to do my own maintenance but my long term mechanic friends do appreciate a clean engine bay.
I always keep a spider poison can handy when working on old cars.
Hope you finish this!
Just get it to drive ! Then do a part at a time ! Keep it fun ! Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎
I agree
One of my favorite model Porsche’s. Looks good after just a wash can’t wait to see it all done.
I myself owned 3, 914/6s .
From Russia with love, bro... Dont be angree, please. Cool video
You seem to have a real knack for finding these gems
Lou the Dalmation... nice... sublime...
can not wait to ser this fantastic project complet. keep on the god Work 🏆
19:37 you arent very scared touching these things lol, you even grabbed those wasp nests with the larvae and crushed them with your bare hands, brave man.
I absolutely love this series, super fun and entertaining to watch you do all the hard work while I relax and have a chuckle.
The best are dead and gone. But yeah you never know if there is anything still moving. It is fun watching CT try to figure things out.
I got to admit I gagged a little when he grabbed that nest with his bare hand but then again I've done worse in my time like changing diapers, that is an act of true love.
@@555tigerland Thats true, youll do anything for something you love, like when I first got my 1990 Lexus LS400, there was a cupcake and cookie under the seat with live maggots filled in them, and i scraped them out with my bare hands.
Brave OR Stupid ? I’d vote the latter
I'll bet I have three hundred hours cleaning polishing and detailing a car that sat for 45 years. Thank goodness I didn't have all that rust and mouse crap good luck with another tough one.
Yep, it does get intimate when you get that deep into restoring an old Porsche.. Carry On Bud. See it through!! Semper Protinus !!
Hi Ct.
Every time you get a new car. You work on it. And leave the other cars alone. Why is that?
Back to looking like new🤩👌
Don't give up 🙂 I think you can do it. It's Beautiful.
I really appreciate your enthusiam! And I believe the car is really bad, but don‘t we all need cars to play with?! A part in me envies you for the time you have to spend on the car together with your great equipment and the workspace. The longer I follow your tales the more I wish for a sabbatical to do nothing but working on an old car in sunny and warm environment.
I could never wrap my head around little sports cars, so to speak. Little people seem to enjoy them but I've seen a few bigger but short people in them.
A past small and short built female friend bought one of those tiny MIA's for herself, next thing I know her husband was driving it, I though that was odd
because he was a plump guy and a few feet taller then her. I heard he got attached to the mini car for its acceleration around and away down the road.
I knew someone who lost control in a 911 on the freeway, he and his dog never left the freeway alive, If your going to drive one of these little high
performance sports cars learn how it handles first by just driving it carefully for 3 to 6 months, take it to a track or big empty lot and get a feel of what
it's going to do.
I had a pristine 914 2.0 back in the day. Mine didn't have the awful federalized bumpers, had the appearance package and optional alloys. I kept it covered in the garage. A garage queen for nice Sunday's. I only slightly modded the car...Racemark steering wheel, Jensen stereo...free flowing exhaust...filled in the rear bottom valence. I always drove it to it full potential because of its modest power. I sold it for a Corvette but still love the 914. Sold it to a collector with less than 30K miles. Engine never was out of it. Ice blue color. Loved it. I was just out of engineering school.
Painful to look at this car. Would take divine intervention to bring this one back. I hate to see nice cars abandoned and neglected.
Take it a part...restoration..new different paint job..Good investment..
i started work on a 73 914 a few yrs ago, mine also just as nasty, been thru most everything so far. great driving cars ive had 4 since the late 70s
Nice
From Canada 🇨🇦.
Great video !! Interesting stuff, seeing what you find, if you can fix & how a car comes apart.
Look forward to the next installment. 👍
Good car for Fred and Barney!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
great car for an enthusiast
Soap and water and a little bit of hard work sure has that little car looking good. I'm anxious to see the engine get it checked out and get it running right and all the other little stuff it needs brakes and all that stuff I'm excited. But there's always but right it's going to be really hard for you to not want to blow this thing apart so...... Try to resist 😁
OMG makes me appreciate the condition mine is in thank you for saving her though
aint that the truth,im going to go give mine a pet now.
LOL, the furry thing on the ice scraper is to keep your hand warm while you scrape. Have you ever lived where it's cold?
I love to watch your rescue vids. They are my favorite. And ignore the negative comments. At least you are doing something!
Thanks Kristen! I appreciate that. I will try to do more of them this year. It is fun finding something new to work on.... =)
It's a game of inches for sure. But it's always a morale booster to see something cleaned up. When I got my 79 K10 pickup about 6 years ago it looked like a wreck. But half a day's worth of washing, scrubbing, and then polishing made so much difference it was incredible. Didn't make it look like new but made it look so much better it really helped to motivate me to keep going on the work.
So sorry it turned out that way! However, I have seen enough of your videos to know for certain you will bring that right back around. I look forward to its completion. You do amazing work! Thank you!
This model was never popular in Europe, and to be honest I was surprised to see so much of them in Florida.
They used to spray a dirt bike with VD40 Before the race so the dirt would not stick to it as much. Easier to clean off the next day.
A few cleaning and looks totally different, You goto love these cars.
Yeah Baby! Loved the video CT and watched every minute. Too bad about the floors! I know you were disappointed and your plan of just making it quickly just safe to drive kind of went out the window….in the next video. I’d love for you to take the sill caps off so we can see the longs. Regardless of what you decide to do, I’ll be watching and cheering you on along the way. Cheers, Tush
My 86 Cadillac Coupe DeVille bought new by my father in law still in the family, still runs but it needs constant upkeep which I love to do!
fun video. Restore it enough to make it road worthy. The joy is in the drive.
Floor pan and engine/brakes....then run it for awhile and then restore.
Nice, now you see more of what you need
shellac the PETROFIED MOUSE and mount it to the hobble head on the dash board!!!!!!!
Saludos de Mexico CT
Cool CT, another very enjoyable video. You might try using white vinegar diluted and warm distilled water (big bottle from pharmacy) for cleaning interior seats, door panels etc. It's safe and will not promote rust.
Thanks for the tip! =) I will try that.
FI will work fine if you replace the vacuum hoses, trigger points, etc. Carbs are fun but make sure you run ethanol free gas and drive often.
I found a 1970 yellow 914 GT 6 race car (at least that is what it is purported o be as I have not yet opened anything up. It is still on the trailer from a half a year ago). It had been driven hard and put away wet from what I can see too may times. I am starting a new position at a new company soon so I hope to have the cash to restore it the way it deserves. Keep up the great work CT. You are the inspiration for me to start a channel with this car.
Wow John! That is an amazing find man! Let me know when you start working on it. Keep me updated!
@@CTmoog Sure will! Thanks CT.
YES you can do the floors and drive it like it is......
LOVED the Video !!
Thanks Tom!
THAT LOOKS ALRIGHT
Complete restore please. Beautiful car
I would do what you said floor plates brakes go through the mortor good to go !
"TEXAS", txs for sharing
I would save the head liner also.
Just power wash it save everything that you can possibly save original is always the best.
CT, PLEASE use CZcams & other resources to learn how to do things properly, first.
Because it’s too late for me/us to tell you after you’ve done the damage, and replacement parts for ALL Porsches including 914’s are getting STUPID expensive.
1.) the seats come out of the rails by pressing a tang in at the side of the rail, when the seat is at the end of the forward position, just like later versions of the beetle. It’s a safety feature to keep the seat from coming out in a crash.
2.) To properly remove the back pad and sound mat, which are both stupid expensive, take the center console & triple gauges out, then center bottom “seat” cushion out, unscrew the tray it sits in, at the front and center, remove the seats as described above, …. See #3 to, remove engine bay lid release pull, carefully pull the bottom of the back pad forward until the catch tangs in the top of the pad slip down and out of the tangs in the top of the firewall, just below the back window.
3.) unscrew the tip of the engine bay lid release pull by unscrewing it, lefty loosey, righty righty. Then use an escutcheon tool, a pair of retaining ring plyers or a fork with center tang bent out the way to turn the retainer ring off the shaft of the tube the cable goes through.
4.) carefully remove the sound deadening mat and at least save it to use as a pattern of the replacement you will want to make from Quick Roof, Peel & Seal, or the expensive version called DynoMat.
I’m being a little harsh on you just because you’re making unnecessary, costly, silly mistakes.
Also, the electronics to worry about, you already got wet when you sprayed the back window. More on that below.
Hopefully there’s not a lot of fuel in the tank, because it’s not hard to remove, and you can pressure wash that area, once you CAREFULLY remove the fresh air box & fan assembly. Those brittle corrugated black plastic pipes are impossible to find in good shape. The seals to the air ducts are likely shot so when you pressure wash that bay, the interior could get wet, so try to protect the fuse & relay panel over the drivers left knee.
This 914 has a “rain tray” which is supposed to dump into a pair of tiny funnels, attached to a bracket at the side of the engine bay, and piped through the engine tin to dump on the ground. The problem with 914’s is the vents on either side of the engine lid. They don’t have rain trays, and under the left one is the relay board, that nobody puts the cover back on because it’s a pain in the @$$
On the other side is the Battery tray, and EFICU. So rain or wash water cause battery acid to spill onto the frame rail the runs underneath it, and pool the the corner at the firewall, under the brain box, where it tough the get at to clean & dry. The moisture then corrodes the brain box and you get EFI issues. That’s why it’s called the Hell Hole.
Go with dual carburetors, and relocate the battery in the restoration.
Dude you need to rebuild this Porsche too it’s former glory don’t half ass it. Don’t cut corners
A real beauty!
Excellent video CT :) I told my one friend who had same car and she told fix up also worth it and you enjoy it as she did ! She said glad hear about someone got one to get one and collect too! Nice hear about too and she Lol got same color plus year too! She gave her car in 2005 to someone buy it and enjoy too!
Yes those Ice Scraper and Furry gloves used in Canada for years to for clean windows and do winter season months CT :) I have used them before Lol!
Restoration Design
Wd 40 quite spraying right cause you were holding it upside down spraying the seats. Never spray aerosol cans upside down cause you loose all your pressure.
First thing I do when dragging a new project home, throw a bug bomb in there shut doors and come back next day.
Good IDEA...
Don’t forget to spray those headlight assemblies with spray lubricant, will rust up fairly quick after washing them. Cleaning makes a world of difference. Should be a good build. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Fuchs wheels would be great. But very expensive these days I think.
Fuch 2l alloys.
@@Mikefngarage yes; the 4 bolts. His car came with the Lemmerz wheels that also came in some Bugs. I believe that was the base 914.
I’m working on a 2001 S4 with my son for his 16th birthday.
MAN! I hope that frame isn’t shot. This might be a good parts car for another one that’s got a great shell but no interior or mechanicals. Who knows - but it’ll be another fun adventure! 👍🏽
frames and sheetmetal are easy to repair....not sure why so many think that is too hard??
Considering it's an east coast car I'd say you picked a winner there. Floor pans aren't great but it could be much worse
I hope you’re not gonna pull this apart and have another car in pieces
Wait till you’ve finished the Ghia I’m excited to see that finished
i think he will never finish any of these cars
@@elghoulmehdi2187 I think so to
The next episode will have him tearing it apart he needs to finish the ghia first and start work on the truck
You hope is in vain !
I would wet sand the paint with 1,500 grit then buff the paint with something like 3-M Perfect -It . Great fine and project. A little cleaning tune up she a driver.
It's great to reveal the original paint and see what it looked like in It's heyday.
SPIDERS ! ! omgggggg ! *shudders
We use a tarp and 4(four) cans of bug bomb to evict those pesky free-loaders - after 2(two) days , no more creepy crawlers
Xspecially on a vehicle that's been in a barn or field
😉😎😇
Hope you restore it. Looks pretty cool.
Thanks Dylan! That's the plan! =)
CT. Looks nice. You need to get a foam cannon and clean ups will be 2x better.
Why not put the motor Darrin built you in that one?
What happened to the yellow one?
Mud dobers terminated 🔥
Hi CT, The floors will have to be addressed if you plan on driving it around? I know you have the other one so maybe make one good one from both or patch up this one enough to sell it? I guess what ever is financially right and your'e time into these projects? Definitely get going on the motor. Pull it out to make it easier to work on👍
And power wash the bay and the underside.
My first car was a Volkswagen Beetle and Porsche is not so far away and when we clean them (there was a moment that there were three Volkswagens in the family) we use a bit of dish cleaner (any brand because we were poor) and water and a used toothbrush. The result was decent 👍
I still say compression check and valve adjustment and if good tune up clean injectors because if fuel injectors work no point of carb.save money
We were hearing a loud knock when the motor started; might be shot and in need of a rebuild.
Porsche/V-dub sure was generous with their engine access...
Poor Melvin the Mouse. He always wanted a German car...
Remember the 'butthenges' you used to see in empty parking spaces, where the previous occupant emptied out their ashtray?
Hi
a nice project respect. i heard that type 4 (4 cylinders) were built by volkswagen and type 6 (6 cylinders) directly by porsche. hence the name volkswagen porsche. prices for very good models have exploded in recent years. nice greetings from Germany
is this the end for the VW Karmann Ghia?
You forgot 'and the others' (!)
The dashboard,,,and the door looks great after giving it a clean and polish,,,never thought of using crc b4 as a cleaning polish?
What make and model is that old car stereo? Pioneer?
Would love to get it restored and working too.
nice that your working on new projects ct. just wonderin when rusty the vw van is goin to get back in the picture and become road worthy?
Never!!! he lost interest and no skills yet to continue...it is a Master Sheetmetal Level... far beyond a few panel replacing challenge....
Never id be amazed if he gets anything on the road. Imean watching now he’s cleaning windows, the way he rives things out. It’s sad to see him wrecking cars.
@@alandaniel7327
i had to go get my boys from school..drove in a white out..most of the way ( winds blowing up snow and sheer ice on highway )... almost ran into a jackknifed truck blocking the one lane....passed 6 vehicles and. lost visibility from the snow swirling...the saw the truck trailer as i passed a semi ...😵
then drove through the rest fighting the slippery icy road.... got both boys ( 2 towns and about 100 km round trip ).... safely home now....to watch the rest of this fiasco!!! 😠 Spiders and Rust..poo poo
I'd say you were close to pulling up the whole floor with that passanger seat at one point, unreal amount of rust
Now you have a "Flintstone car" 😁😁.
