finally starting the restoration of my 1972 barnfind 1.7l adriatic blue 914. the car has been off the road since 1988 and seemed well cared for before being put up. the rust did not seem too bad. it turns out that it is rusted worse than i thought, very fixable just more than i hoped. also the front right was sectioned as well. the car ran well and drove fine before i started the rust abatement.

Be sure to check out John (Fourblades) thread. His car is mostly made of welds and his side yard is fertilized with rust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Oh, and his car now looks great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Good luck! |

Mine was truly a flintstone mobile where your feet could touch the ground. Joe at Series9 is nearly done with my Electromotive EFI conversion so it will be a fearsome four cylinder soon. John |
