Hello Guys,
since many years I'm working on my 914-6 restoration project. Now I have finished most of the jobs like engine and transmission rebuild, electric harness, suspension ..., now it's time for the body work. Normally before I start I try to collect es much information to get a perfect result. My body was repaired in the past by unexperienced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and now I have to fix this badly bodywork. See the pictures and look at the door clearence than you understand. The question is how can I fix this and if you had the same topic how was it fixed by you. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Another $$$ factor to consider is fiddling time to get the RD/AA to fit. If your paying to have the work done. Sometimes it might be a wash.
Another nice thing about the Mittlemotors piece, it has the recess/step for the floor panel. RD/AA piece is flat. |

I already bought many parts from MM and they always delivered good quality. I like them but there is another company "memminger" they collected many parts, do you know them ? http://www.914neuteile.de/cms/front_content.php?idcat=56 |

I've called and emailed them with no reply to date. I know they where on " holiday " at the time but not responding to a message or email in weeks doesn't sound like good business practices to me. I didn't know that Mittlemotors offered a replacement right long. I'll reach out to Mittlemotors next and report back. |
