Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker, 1st time post-er. I purchased my first 914 in 1987. It was a sunflower yellow 1.7 that eventually succumbed to Michigan's harsh climate. I have a 1974 914 that I am converting into a modified 914 GT tribute car. The car was originally from Oregon, and has good rockers, minor hell hole damage, and a rotten rear floor - A relatively clean 914. This is the first time I have attempted a project like this. Started the restoration in January 2021, and it has been a long road. Setting up the garage, sourcing tools, learning to sand blast, weld-fabricate-paint (still learning all three), chasing down parts, receiving box after box. Big thank you to Ian Megale, Jeff Robenolt, and Chris Baker for parts, assistance, and advice. I am 18 months in, so apologies for the posting catch up. |

@76-914 , @tygaboy , @Cairo94507 . Thanks for the words of encouragement. Good advise on resizing the pictures, although not sure why the forum software keeps some pics in their correct orientation, and skews others 90 degrees (even though they were uploaded in the correct orientation).
Here are a few (many) pics of the flare installation. I included some detailed pictures of how the flares integrate with the existing body work. In my searches this was not very intuitive and took some digging. Hopefully will help someone visualize more easily in the future. I have new respect (mind blowing amazement!!) for the folks that have enough talent to weld in flares with all metal and no filler. |
