Here's my challenge for 2007. It's a real '71/6. The body shop hasn't got it on their Celette bench yet but are encouraging that it can be straightened. I'll definitely need some help rounding up parts - preferably in the south-bay area. Once I get a better idea of what's needed that I don't have I'll post a WTB in the classifieds. Best to all for the new year! -John

02.25.07 Update-------
Talked to the bodyshop friday. They finally got it on the lift and made some assessments. First off, he said he was convinced it can be straightened. He has the Celette bench but needs to get the attachments for the 914. Said the left front is the worst which seems obvious from the pictures and the rear is not as bad as he originally thought, surprisingly. Since all of the suspension needs to come off I thought now was a good time to change out the front end with something with bigger brakes. I found a pair of Koni struts with aluminiun S calipers. (Thanks Stu!) Here's a question: are the trailing arms the same between the /4 and /6? I have one from a /4 car. How about the axle? I know the CV is different, right? This will be a bit of a challenge as the car in in San Jose and I'm in WY so I'm trying to source parts out there to minimize all the shipping. Goal is to have the SJ bodyshop do as much of the body work as I can afford right now and get it back to roller status so I can go get it soon. Road trip! |
