Hi Everyone !
I have been doing some really cool stuff to my 1974 914. I figure I would post a bunch of pics and show my tub job. This is not a "how to" post but a "how I did". Let me introduce myself, I have been earning money/a living turning wrenches for the better part of my life. I have my garage for 10 years now, and the teener for 13 years. I have had many 914s when I lived on the West coast, North-Eastern Canada is a different story. I have an almost perfect car, stuff dreams are made of, own a garage, and took 3 weeks off. This is what I did. Please note : I always take the full fire and saftey route on these projects, people ask why I bought and extra fire extinguisher. Every time I work on my teener the FE is real close. Chemicals I used are industrial useage, Please take car. PS : I type real slow I have 7 pics to load cheers Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

Well
This whole timing/idea fell on my lap when a bodyshop friend/owner, calls me and needs an "emergency" storage. He drops off a frame machine at my shop on the condition I can use it. I was allready pricing out and exploring frame supports, frame machine arived, found a deal on a set of supports like the day after. To get ready for the supports I squared the tub/frame on the machine, then took measurements, lock everything down. I called over a friend frame tech for a beer and to double check my doings, thumbs up. I have to say that sunny Sunday I was playing on my car, in my shop, using high tech tools, + beer. Sometimes owning a shop has its pirks. Attached image(s) |
