Hello 914 world! Ive been lazily lurking here for way too long and finally decided
to change that tonight. So heres my 1st contribution to all this 914 awesomeness. This is my 914 back in 2010 when I started the rust repair. I'm almost done with rust repair now and I have lots of pics but I have to resize and post latter. It seems like these pics are gonna work even though they are big so I guess we'll see what happens.

Before I get back to the body, I forgot to mention that the motor got more than a major cleaning. It got new pushrod tube seals, oil cooler seals, heads torqued and valves adjusted, spark plugs, all new vacuum lines, powder coated tins,, and other new odds and ends. I'll have to find and/or take some pics of it now to post later. So now I'll get back to the body. These are from March of this yr I put the driver door back on to start the fitment of the sail panel, doorjam, and org fender. So everythings moving along fine so far, just takin my time tryin to get the panels just right.
