So, I got my camera working the same day that this site went down. I've tried to attach a bunch of recent photos of the new project. I've got photos of it when it arrived as a bare metal tub, but those our on my cell phone and I have not yet figured how to transfer them. Th ecar is an original 6, the 11 one to role of the assembly line. The car originally had some rust, the previous owner had repaired most of it, I've had to fix a few odds and ends. I'm currently waiting on a set of rear fenders so that I can finish the body work and get this thing to the paint shop.

This is a lousy photo (couldn't get it to turn out any better) of the rear trunk stamped VIN #, something that was only done on very few of the early 6's.

The engine mount, I intentionally did not primer the area surounding the clutch cable exit tube because I was thinking about preemtively reinforcing it. My previous 2 914's both had that area eventually fail, not the easiest fix when you have nearly a full tank of gas to get rid of some how...

Battery tray, this was replaced althought the previous tray only had some pitting from rust, no rust holes.

Picture of rear without rear fender. The black stuff is undercoating that I sprayed before installation of the fender. I figured it would be hard to get up in there after I weld the fenders on.

You might have noticed the targa top in the last photo is primered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). I want to keep this car as stock as possible, that was an extra top that came with the car that wasn't in great shape, thought it might be cool to have on top painted the same color as the car (silver)...

The early 6's and all the factory Gt's had the front fenders welded to the windsheild cowl, there was some lead fill that was added to fill in what ever was not covered by the weld.

Here is a pic of the early style inside door handle, only the first few hundred cars had these. Notice how the handle projects straight out, it doesn't have the extra dip in it that all the other handles had.

Well, I guess the other photos are too large to add to this thread, I will take some more pics at a lower resolution...

Great Project and Great work! My dream project is to do what your doing by restoring a factory 6. I bet that cart is just great for moving the car around on. Really fine work, keep it up, another 6 saved ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've ordered a full set of Bilstein Sports for the car, I will also be installing stock sway bars, what springs should I go with? I've got the originals but was wondering if I should get the Weltmeister 140's or the 100's?
