Today marks the official beginning of my 1974 Porsche 914-4 restoration project.
      I'm hoping to have the car on the road before its 50 anniversary. |

@GeorgeKopf Presuming (?) you had metalwork done before priming and dipping, did you do it yourself or have a shop do it? I’m really struggling to find a shop qualified and interested in doing a small job on my driver’s side jack triangle and bit of longitudinal.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) @StarBear I dropped the chassis off at TranslogGT in York PA. They are a Porsche specific body shop and the owner (Tony) has his own 914 project. They're getting my chassis dipped for me at MEC Chemicals in Natty Glo PA. I'll post updates as I get more information. So far they have had the car since this summer. George |
