Let's save another 914, and get it decent., Probably need advice from you old school 914 folk Options

So here is the rust on this one. It's a 75 cali car it's entire life.

Get the worst over to begin. Let us take a look at the hell hole. It was solid, and even passed teh screwdriver/hammer test....

*until* it soaked in metal ready a while... then the screwdriver test started picking out giant holes which you see here. It is still soaking, and has been on/off for days not to eat away more to see what metal is truly left. Next step is a grinder or non-hand tool of sorts to break deep into the pitting and see what truly is through.

It's all fixable. Get the paint and bondo off and see what kind of shape the fenders are in before you start buying replacements. Get a knotted wire bruch for your grinder. It will become you best friend and your worst enemy at the same time. Cuts down on the time to clean all that crap out, and makes a LOT of mess. Wear your ear rubbers when using it. always remember:

it will get worse before it gets better

no matter how hot she is, some guy is tired of putting up with her

Don't eat yellow snow

don't eat brown snowballs

Urine is not only sterile and tasty but a dab of your morning pee on zits can cure your acne.

I am not sure if they were trying to get me to put my pee on my face or what but you know I heard that from a girl like 5 years ago. I wonder if she put her pee on her face.



I am now more confident about going at this crap with my wire wheel or 80 grit.

I have some 80 grit flapper discs I can use with a light hand and a stripper attachment for the 4.5" angle grinder.


Should I stick with 120 everywhere else? My worry is fucking up the metal surface and having to have a thick layer of fill primer to sand down instead of smooth unscratched metal wherever possible.
