Update, I'll be offering this one up for sale when completed.
Here is a link to an album on fickr much better to see progress pics https://www.flickr.com/photos/124793434@N03...157654074622313 I started with a 914 that sat 15 years in dry storage in the hands of a hopeful V8 conversion fan. A stalled project that never happened. So my starting point was an unmolested car with no rust issues. Original books/manuals, keys, radio and so on. This will be a mildly modified back date look with body color bumpers and early steel wheels with hub caps.simple look of the German delivery first series cars. Starting in on the home stretch, glass in and ready for door install Interior is in and wiring connected. Starting to test systems and wake the long sleeping beauty. So far all go except for one headlight wont wake up.I'll be digging in on that as I work thru the rest of electrical check out. Should hang the doors in the next few days. Fuel up and brake check out as well.   Original carpet is in pretty respectable condition. Steering wheel will get a going over.  Bumpin' sound system   |

QUOTE(mrfourteen @ Oct 28 2015, 11:23 PM)  Nothing bought this month.. Striped the paint off the doors and hoods and bumpers shot with self etching primer. Had a set back with regards to paint. while the body panels don't have body work in them when painted and shiny they look less than perfect. So sanding all exterior of the shell and will begin a Dolphin Glaze process to get them mirror flat. Not that big of a deal since it's only the front fenders and rear quarters that have color on them. progress pic I don't think this build is in the same league as most of what I see here in the challenge. I doubt anyone wants to see a plain build like this. Looks pretty good. I am sure it will turn out great. Can you also post this update in the main Challenge thread - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=265569 |
