Progress thread 74 2.0 to 3.0 6, Time to assemble Options

[Luke M]

I figured why not start this thread. The car is a 74 914 2.0 that's been sitting since the early 90's. It was parked outside/in the woods up until my brother purchased it last fall. It didn't look too bad from 20 feet away but when you look closer it gets pretty bad. So, here's the plan... strip the car, fix the rust problems, paint it, add a 5 lug suspension, and convert it to a 3.0 6. Stay tuned for pics of the progress..

I'm back to it here. Finally had some time to fix a few more things on my brothers car. We got the pedal cluster sheet metal replaced and repaired the inner fender corner. Also installed the Maddog sway bar plates. Thanks to Bruce Stone for the replacement sheet metal. It made the repair a lot easier to cut out the bad sections and weld in some good metal. At first we where going to use just plain old sheet metal to patch things up but as I thought about it I changed my mind. I ended up sourcing the replacement metal from guys that where parting out some good old somewhat rust free CA cars. We are still waiting on a pair of longs from a CA guy. We will cut and splice in the new/used metal to fix the rust problems in the longs.
Then once the floors and the lower firewall are installed it will get the Maddog inner chassis kit installed. A GT chassis kit will also find it's way onto the car at some point.
Enjoy the pics.
