Well it's gotten to be that time finally. I've been collecting parts to do the repair on my 914-6 and now the work starts. The main issue is the hell hole/inner engine long, inner pass long, pass inner rocker panels are rusted out. The last part I was trying to source seams to be NLA. I sourced most of the parts from the good guys at Restoration Design. I received my order today for the last batch of things. Based on a few threads that I've looked over the outer shell to the inner engine long is currently not being made by RD. A few guys have made their own which looks like a real pain in the rear to do. I laid out all the new metal to see how things lined up. By the looks of things it will need some fine tuning to mate things properly. Before I start cutting into the chassis I'll build a few braces to keep things true.
Time for the pics... Attached image(s)

Luke has to deal with very little room to spare. I tried a few different things and I can't get the front to close up anymore then what it is. I still have to install the replacement drivers door yet so I'm sure that gap will also change. I can get the rear to change and think I may tweek it a little more. What's the variable that's been seen on these gaps? Rory sent me measurements from his 6 but would like to see/hear from a few more people. Edit: After looking at a few build threads it looks like 5 mm rear/ front door gaps is the way to go. I maybe able to get 5 mm at the door handle side but the front fender/door is gonna be though. Only way I can see that gap getting smaller would be to cut the front fender off and repositioning it. I'm gonna pm Mr. Kent on this one. |
