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)

Looks like a nice car. You know, all of those previous repairs got the car to this point. It probably would not have survived without them. I wonder if kink is caused by the chassis flexing. This is one of the areas that is reinforced on the GT cars. I have seen them crack near that spot.

Charlie Hello Charlie, I know on guy which owns an original 914-6 GT, I have seen the added stiffening metal in the front/back. Also all of this changes are very detailed described in the original documentation which was needed for racing. However the force which is needed to kink the body in this area can only happen when the suspension/ spring can not move any more... I have no clue if this can happen by using normal suspension setup. |
