my suggestion...
get a handgun
find that guy
have him make a list of everything he did at gun point

at least he may learn not to do it to the next guy!

I went and found the PO working on his new rig. I decided to go back another time when he wasn't so busy.

Answers in order of pictures:

1. There is a trim piece that goes there.

2a. I beleive that is the cooling vent that attaches to a hose that connects to the snorkle on the back of the alternator.

2b. ?

3. That is the cold start valve. The wiring going to it is non original, maybe a possible attempt at manually activating the cold start valve to cure a hot start problem.

4. ?

5. I believe since yours is an early car, that hose connects to the crankcase breather. Fumes from the crankcase are sucked into the intake track and reburned. On later cars this connection was made further along in the intake track.

6. ?

7. ?

8. ?

9. Oh my god.

10. Headliner.


How attached are you to that 924? We've all dealt with rough cars, some paint, some rust, some mechanical, some electrical, but that car has the worst of everything. I would seriously consider getting a better example.

On Photo 8 it's much easier than you think. In your picture you've all but got it off. There is a black plastic ring about 1.5inches long that is on the steering column between the ignition assembly and the splined end of the steering column. There should be a small notch in it, just get a screw driver in there and pry it out, it's kind of tough. Also make sure that you remove that allen keyed bolt on the left side of the silver assembly, it's just of of view in your picture.

Then just put the key into the ignition swith and turn it...it releases the cylinder lock and the whole assembly can slide off the column.

I can help you with the steering column thing.

That plastic trim comes off with the metal thing. What you have to do is remove that black cylinder thing on the column, it is some sort of spacer, it's plastic, looks like metal tho. Use channel locks to pull it off, then everything else comes of easily.

I think maybe the best thing you could do is find someone with a 924 in your area,have him drive his car to your house, and just compare the two, figure out what pieces you need, ect.

I'm with you, having a project is fun. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

1- Yes, a trim piece. It's made of sheet metal, rigid foam and covered with vinyl.

6- "Wheres this go?" I'm guessing would go to the emissions air pump if your car has/had one. The "Air filter?" wouldn't be an air filter. It looks like a vacuum controlled valve. If there's another large line off the rear of it that leads to the charcoal canister (behind the front-left wheel), then it's your EEC control valve.

7- Possibly the remains of an air filter for the air pump, again if your car had one.

8- Those are attached with 2 small screws up from the bottom - one on each side. I've always been able to remove it without removing the ignition switch/lock. Hope that sadistic PO didn't glue it together - other wise, removing the screws should get it off.

9- Beautiful. That's the rear - it gets headliner.

10- The front inner roof - actually gets a trim piece of sheet metal, rigid foam, covered with vinyl like the sides in pic 1.
