And so it begins.
I am starting to bring back a 75 that was sitting in a field since around 92. A little damage on the passenger side that only took a short time to rough out. I modified a couple of old engine stands so I could fully rotate the car. Most of the damage is the floor and back firewall from a loose rear window. I have not found any rust in the longs, YET. I just finished a 4 year project restoring a 59 Karmann Ghia. It was my first restoration. I have not decided where to go with this car yet. I originally wanted to recreate the last 914 I had in the early 90s but we will see where it goes.  |

QUOTE(djway @ Dec 26 2020, 10:06 PM)  Da hub. The front hub can also be had in aluminum but takes 944 donor parts. Bolt on 5 lug large caliper and rotor. Thought there would be more interest. Thanks for the kind words on the bodywork. I was kinda forced into completing my 63 Nothcback and had to put the 914 on the back burner. The 63 is nearing completion allowing me to move on. Next I have to get the 59 Ghia ready to put on BAT. After that, back to this project. |
