914-6 Restoration, ...and away we go Options

[914350]

Hi all, I’m still a newbie here on world, I’ve made a few posts but have not yet formally introduced myself. My name is Kent and I have been restoring cars for over 20 years now. I did the reconstruction, body and paint on Andy’s (socalandy) 914-6. I immediately became hooked on 914,s and bought and built a 914 V8 conversion. I am starting a new restoration on another 914-6 so I will be posting pics of the progress as I go. The owner of this cars name is Jim and he has done a nice job of rounding up and restoring many of the parts thus far so this will no doubt be a nice car in the end. Andy (socalandy) posted a thread on this car a few months back and now it is in my shop and I’m ready to begin.

The Donor car measured out great so I will use it to build a fixture for the 6.

Great thread! Is your 6's chassis bent? Based on what you've said above, I'm wondering if you're going to make fixtures for your bench based on the donor and then will be straightening the 6 chassis to fit those jigs..... If so, I'll be very interested in how you do this.
