The 914/6 "rust"oration process has officially begun. I sure hope I can get out for less than $10k. Plan on some stupid CW type questions in the near future. I love pics BTW. I have some nice /4 parts to sell off to help offset the cost of this project. Motor/tranny have been removed (many thanks to Brant, Scott, Mike and Jon for the assistance). The interior will be gutted this week. I need to remove little stuff like the fuel pump, lines, drain the tank, you get the idea. Then I get to start cutting up the parts car and stripping paint off panels to avoid spending $45/hour for body shop labor. As Rich says, "onward..." 2.0/6 motor width thread This post has been edited by Gint: Mar 9 2011, 01:46 PM |

I have been tracking your project. I like to think positive: "You have a very enjoyable project in restoring a car, and you will know what you have in detail when you are done. The joy comes when the project is finished and you stand back with that cold beer looking everything over; an impish grin ttugs at your mouth as deep satisfaction settles in; MAN, THAT COLD BEER IS GOOD".
