Hello,
i'm in progress to restore a 914/6. The car is stripped to bare metall and i found some rust here and there, but not as much as expected. Fortunately the longitudinals are as well o.k. . All four fenders are disassembled, so i do not have to worry about them. That's not the first 914 that i rebuild, but this time i'd like to make it very clean. Now here's my question: Does anybody has experience with media blasting and the pros and cons of it ? many greetings and "luftgekühlte grüsse aus berlin" Benno |

The media blaster here in Portland Oregon uses a plastic bead, I have used him for a number of different things including a 914 hood and there was no warping. I was very pleased with the outcome. One thing it doe's leave the small plastic beads in hard to get to places, comperessed air is a must.
PS: he is a car blaster only. CCLinLOO |
