Well more progress now car very nearly stripped, not sure how to take out the metal dash frame but found a thread so Ill do that tomorrow. Welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) starts next week. Here are some progress shots.

Boy I'll say one thing, this is great entertainment and a great view into the insides of the 914.
I've done work really cheap in the past for a friend but that takes the cake. A friend had a 42 ford miitary jeep given to him by a veterans lodge and I spent 371 hours on it at 10.00 a hour, I guess I donated the last 91 hours as he never paid me, but thats what friends are for right? I told him if he gave it to me I still wouldn't want it before we started on it. I really think you could have gotten a good car shipped to you for less than that repair cost. I truly don't see how that tub will be within 1/2 inch of square when you are finished. It's not even on a frame to keep it from twisting and it's obvious it's being just lifted up and down on the two outside wheels. To go with that the front lower control arm's mounts are pretty flimsy. Right now you have three thin supports connecting the front 1/2 to the rear 1/2 and the longs. It might go down the road with less friction as it may only be supported on three wheels. I guess at this point you are too far into it to stop now. How thick do you think the metal is that you can't see both sides of that won't get replaced? Maybe it'l make the history books on metal fabbing. |
