i'm going to use this as a progress thread for my upcoming tub un-twisting ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
i went by Scott's (Yeaman Autobody in Palo Alto) today and we threw the 914 up on the lift and he did a thorough inspection and took a few measurements. he seems to be confident that it's not as bad as i thought. i hope he's right ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) the next step will be to strip the tub of all the front/rear suspension parts, steering rack, motor & transmission and anything else i can take off easily. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) then the tub will be put on his celette bench and we're going to have a whole weekend of "pull that 914" fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) i already got a video camera i'm going to use to document this. that, and my usual blurry pictures should make for an interesting documentary ... can't wait to get this done!

Is this Birgit's 'little guy' that you are looking at straightening?
