These are great cars. I drove one over here in the States for over 200,000 miles. At about 400,000 miles the cylinder head/tappet buckets wore out. Almost 20 years out of a sports car with great handling that got 28-30 miles per gallon. Mine had no rust problems even as a northern states car. You've made a good choice!
"I bougth a Porsche to save money"... I think you're the first person in the world to said that! I always loved the 924, it will be very interesting to see this project! Ciao Seppo :-)
Rust not yet mentioned. Battery tray allows water into the fuse box. Fuel tank. Rust is not uncommon and really needs the transaxle removed to get it out. New Tanks, if you can find one are expensive. I've seen £1000 mentioned. The rust in the bottom back corner of the wing is where it is bolted on. Only some parts of the early cars were galvanised unfortunately. At least you don't have to remove the gearbox to change the clutch.
People talk a lot. But it doesn't matter if the car has a VW or Audi engine. It's the cylinder head what matters. Actually what matter is what they have done to the head like bigger valves, bigger valve seat, stronger valve springs, better flow, different size of shape of the combustion chamber, higher compression, and of course different pistons, better and lighter rods, a willing camshaft, shorter or longer stoke crankshaft, etc. + matched ECU and injection system. ...then I wouldn't be worried if the basics are molded at VW/Audi plant. Besides all this: you've got one, drive it, love it.
Shame Car Throttle channel is dead, but hey we get to see you do a great budget build. One day I would love to see a muscle car in this channel, see yourself do doughnuts and burn outs till tires pop.
With your lift ut is going to be much easier to remove the engine to replace the clutch. On a two post lift it involves dropping the transaxle and exhaust, unbolting the bellhousing, and sliding the torque tube assembly back to access it. Very common to get rust under the battery in the cowl on 24s & 44s. Camshaft! Notorious for cam lobe wear on these. Remove the valve cover and check the lobes and lifter faces for damage. If ok, remove the oil spray bar to clean it thoroughly and replace the plastic sealing block on the end. Valves are very easy to adjust once you learn how. Interesting tapered screw design. Make sure to adjust the clearances on yours. Best of luck!
Regarding any rust on the bodywork, the Porsche 924 from 1981 is galvanized. Over 40 years later there is, as expected, some rust on these cars, but if they have not been damaged there is normally surprisingly little rust.
What a great car, I really love the 924. Back in 2001 my brother and I bought a cheap old 1986 944. It was such a good, reliable car and would still do over 140mph! We had a lot of fun with that car and should have kept it. I’m looking forward to following your 924 updates!
I had one in the late eighties, same colour and interior, even sunroof...it was a 79 T reg. Big Porsche stickers along the bottom of the sides. I traded it in for a cavalier sri...😅
The 2 liter 924 sport also had 5X130 wheels. Interestingly, this 4 bolt car runs the odd 4X108 wheel bolt pattern. I once got a set of 4X108 Phone Dials in a large parts swap. Took me a long time to find a buyer.
The engine front and mounting angle reminds me of Brazilian VW's from the 1980's, VW BX family. Engines ranged from 1600 up to 2000 cc. They were very popular until 10-15 years ago. Nowadays all VW engines are based on EA-family., mostly 16v. EDIT: your Porsche's VDO gauges are very much VW-ish. I had a 1980 Beetle with that same layout.
A nice score. My first car was a VW scirocco 2. There are some slight resemblance 924 and my first car. I'd pull the motor in this case. Would be overall time saving. It's much easier to service the clutch, fix all the oil leaks and replace some ball joints and other suspension components while the motor is out.
The engine in the early 924 was much criticised and some Porsche fans said it cheapened and undermined the brand's engineering but it and then the 944 was a saviour for the company, the contract to jointly develop it with VW gave Porsche a well developed car to replace the 914 with and no need to develop their own engine initially. It is very tough, arguably nicer (though heavier) than the later developed Audi/VW 4 cylinder without the crossflow head. It was actually more a Daimler Benz (Mercedes Benz now) engine than a VW van engine - It was Daimler Benz investment in the group that became Audi, before VW bought it entirely that saw this engine developed, but it was under VW ownership that it went from the Audi 90 and then 100 onto other projects. Also, the 924 (and 944) were built in an old NSU factory, so the engine was fitting for that reason too.
Tillykke med salget, og med Porsche´n. Det altid rart når tingene går som man vel ha det. 924 med 2.0 er da i det mindste en billig bil med hensyn til reservedele, halv bubble/Golf oppe foran og vw bus affjedring omme bag i. 😄
Hi seppo just starting to watch the video, I had to comment on the cx. Well done on the work completed it will now see many more miles. Cars come and go and looking forward to the 924 work. Yes the citroen cx is a great car. But your channel output is informative, dynamic, never predictable, which is great. Well done seppo. Hope you and your nearest are well, got to go I need to jump back to the video x matt
this should be fun to follow. it's odd to talk about a gearbox and transaxle, the transaxle is a gearbox and final drive in a single unit, part of what gives these cars great weight distribution.
@@SeasideGarage are we just getting crossed wires - you say gearbox, i say transaxle but we mean the same thing..? if there's a separate gearbox i'd like to see it at some point. regardless it's fun to see this car getting a new life. they're a lot of fun, still very underrated.
Be careful not to pinch the wiring harness when re-installing the torque tube Ask me how I know Also check the condition of wires for pop up headlights. After years of flexing they break and cause shorts
Seppo if you hadn’t told me about the 2CV van I would never have noticed it 🤓, love the yellow colour Porsche somehow suits it , yes will be a fun drive when you’ve checked it out 👌🏻, I did notice your missing the go faster strips ? Not in the parts box ? Will be so slow without them 😁
Sad to hear we will no longer see the CX, but this is definitely a nice replacement! Where will you put the maxi cosi seat though? 😂 Thanks for the video!
@SeasideGarage As I'm sure you'll know it says lack no. and the codes are vw style usually starting with letter L. I'm asking because they didn't paint base models in fancy lilac metallic colours unless specifically ordered from Porsche.
Sad to see the CX gone and I am not a fan of "premium" marques as they attract premium prices but a 42 year old rusty Porche that has a lot of VW bits does have a bit of an appeal.
@@SeasideGarage The kit is great, both for driving and its easy to assemble, ive been involved a little bit in the development of it :). A friend here in swe have it and remove it for the MOT, since its every second year, i dont know if its the same in DK.

Is really difficult to ignore a 2cv van a those cute yellow eyes
its NOT there! :P

I always loved the shape of the Porsche 924. If there was ever a Seaside Garage Porsche then this is it.
It is!

Can't better any car that's got pop up headlights😀😀😀Great daily project - though I am sad the CX has gone
I like the Porsche. But do prefer the cute, legend of car lurking in the background 😊
I'm sad the Cx has gone

I am sorry you sold your CX but congratulations on your Porsche. I have to say though that I am really looking forward to seeing your new 2CV van!
Can't wait to see this with the paintwork cut and polished. Great condition for its age.
I'm considering a 924 project. So, I'm super happy you are doing this!

Unfortunately it seems like game over for Car Throttle. I Saw this video Yesterday.

Hahaha! "Accidentally used the money", that sounds like one of my excuses. Great video again, thanks.
whops!
I'm more interested in the little grey cutie hiding in the background 👀
there is nothing back there... :P

Cracking daily drive!
Both Porsche and Citroen...both interesting projects!! I'm looking forward! Great color for a Porsche by the way.

Very easy car to work on. I've fixed a few of those. Good fun to drive too.
I love the colour, and I bet yellow is really rare too.
I had one in the late eighties, same colour and interior, even sunroof...it was a 79 T reg. Big Porsche stickers along the bottom of the sides. I traded it in for a cavalier sri...😅
Thougt 82 had 5 lugs. This is 4. Curious. Love 924s!!
5 lugs are for the Turbo I think :)
5 lugs on the 924s also, I have one!
The 2 liter 924 sport also had 5X130 wheels. Interestingly, this 4 bolt car runs the odd 4X108 wheel bolt pattern. I once got a set of 4X108 Phone Dials in a large parts swap. Took me a long time to find a buyer.
Been looking forward to this video since the first video on collecting it! Garage (and car) looks great!
Good luck to the CX's new owner. The 924 is a decent car too, should be fun.
Hi Seppo I love the AZ 250 its just like mine

My 3 car was a Scirocco mk2! :D
Looking forward to seeing this, I really like the 924 shape.
Grats on the Porche, sad to see the CX go ! You'll get a Turbo II eventually though! I know it!
It would love it!

nice car.. I love it.
Remember to clean out any potential air filters from the airbox before revving the engine 😅
😂😂
Haha! Oh yea I forgot.. :P
In Germany we called that the "Bauern Porsche"... means "the Farmer Porsche"
I have 2CV and Renault R4, but would love to add Porsche 924 to the collection.
Currently I have the same! :P
Ignore it …its not there……lol 😂 i like your style Seppo

Yes that is true.. but in reality there is a gearbox at the back that is connected to the axle tube... :)

I'll miss the CX but the Porker will serve you well🙂

Ask me how I know
Also check the condition of wires for pop up headlights. After years of flexing they break and cause shorts
Nice car!
Please give me a heads-up when you’re ready to let it go. 😉
Haha I will probably forget.. so stay tuned! :P
@@SeasideGarage
Will do! 👍
That's nice
"I bought a porsche to save some money" is not a sentence that is often uttered 😂
23:15 If that is the case you might just want to bite the bullet and fit a new clutch as that will have been riding also.

Thanks man.. Cool! Can we call it the canary?
Sad to hear we will no longer see the CX, but this is definitely a nice replacement! Where will you put the maxi cosi seat though? 😂
Thanks for the video!
I can't ignore it.
haha!
The door gap/left fender looks quite uneven. Accident?
Have not found evidence of that... (yet..) :P
banana yellow
I cannot ignore the AZU 250, so I shall not try to... :P
Are you sure it's a base model? It has lux wheels and looks to have originally been a rare lilac colour. What's the paint code on the build sticker?
have not checked yet :)
@SeasideGarage As I'm sure you'll know it says lack no. and the codes are vw style usually starting with letter L. I'm asking because they didn't paint base models in fancy lilac metallic colours unless specifically ordered from Porsche.
You’re going to miss driving in the Cx, but the Porsche is oké .
YES I will... no doubt... a lot!
What seats are these from
They are original to the 924... but are also found in the less popular 911.. :P
Do 40-year old cars still require an MOT in Denmark?
Yes, but the interval changes from the regular 2 years to 8 years when the car is 35 years old.
Yes
Put a Volvo 240 red block and transmission in it so it is reliable..
We junked a 928 here in NY no one wanted.
I want it!
I hope 2CV 250 is not rusted. 🤔
of course it is! :P
7kmpl is not far off my Porsche 928, that does 3.5 to 8 kmpl.
Sad to see the CX gone and I am not a fan of "premium" marques as they attract premium prices but a 42 year old rusty Porche that has a lot of VW bits does have a bit of an appeal.
Det ville være spændende at se dig smide en turbo på den... :)
Der findes et kompresor kit til den! og det vil jeg meget gerne montere hvis jeg finder en lovlig måde at gøre det på :)
@@SeasideGarage The kit is great, both for driving and its easy to assemble, ive been involved a little bit in the development of it :). A friend here in swe have it and remove it for the MOT, since its every second year, i dont know if its the same in DK.
