I am working on restoring a 1973 914 and converting it to a GT clone with the flares and chassis stiffening. Here is a picture of where I am on it.

You can spray the insides of some of the cavities with a tool like this:
http://professionalautomotivetools.com/hus...washer-sprayer/ You just hook it to pressure, drop the hose in the "paint", and spray away. It can be used to apply paints/coatings as well, just wear clothes you never want to wear in public again if you restrict the flow with the nozzle too much ;-) Stu |
