New to this forum but I've been around 944s, 924Ss, Boxster and Cayman forums for years.
This one is going to take some time. Purchased for $900, non-running but otherwise complete '73 914 2.0. Certainly just beyond a viable restoration car but probably okay for what I plan to do with it. Here's some highlights of the tear down... On the trailer going to the house. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I am glad to have these front fenders treated. The drivers side was certainly much quicker than the other. Without any dents, it was just a matter of stripping the paint, closing up the holes, cleaning, metal prep and POR 15. I covered the turn indicator hole with a duplicate cut of sheet metal like the passenger side. The donor fender on that side has the side marker hole already covered so I had to do that on this side. That's actually four holes so I made a 3" square patch and welded it to the back side. That left a bit of an indentation so that will need some body filler. When I covered the antenna hole, I cut the sheet metal to fit and welded it flush. The hardest part about these fenders is scrapping off the under-coating and digging out the seam sealer. Getting this done opens the door for putting the front suspension on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
