I've been going back and forth on the best plan for this car so much I feel like a woman. I just can't make up my mind. So, I ask here again, but with a more open question: What should be done with this car?
First off, the car runs really well and feels great to drive. These cars aren't easy to come by in the upper north east. And lastly, I hate to see another 914 chassis thrown away. My plans is to build a GT look-a-like for use whenever I can but set up for DE events ultimately. When I bought the car, I had planned on glassing in some flares and add as much fiberglass as offered from the normal sources. Then I thought that with the reliece of the AA flares, and liking to drive the car so much on the roads, I should keep as much steel as possable. Now that my DACO Mickey Mouse repairs are aging, I wonder if I shouldn't just POR15 over the rough stuff and use their epoxy filler to cover up as much as possable. Then bolt on some 'glass fender flares and have fun while the car holds itself together. But, I really like quality work and I am a bit anal retentive. So, I'll post pics of all of the bad rust I know about and let the Club offer their opinions. If I don't get too much feedback here, I'll post the car on ebay with one hell of a buy-it-now. Then I bet I'll here some opinions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

Im thinking a full repaint, after bead blasting and rust repair.
Ie full resto. But thats just me if I had the money. But if you dont want to do that. I would definately get all the rust down to the metal and see what you have to work with from there. If the metal is thin.. maybe replacing it.. I think that fiberglass flares that are bolted (or however) on.. ie obvious fiberglass, is a very nice look. When done cleanly. Someone else did that on here, and I love the look. Your car.. Andrew |
