Last time I saw Nathan was when he came by to buy a set of Pedro is and cut some parts out of a 72 chassis I had. Must have been 2014 or so. I was wondering the same about his whereabouts.

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Mar 12 2019, 09:09 AM)  He was from Laguna Beach. I have a number for him if someone wants to give him a ring. I'm drawing a blank on him but my memory sucks. If I saw him I'm sure I'd recognize him. I'll shoot you a PM Jeff with his number |

I hope the bench he bought didn't reveal a grand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) up that made him withdraw. If that's all it is he should checkout some my failures and gather hope. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey, thanks to everyone reaching out. A lot of changes awhile back set me back, health problems, money problems, a bit of burnout on the project. I moved shops, got another vw bus and did a bit of a rebuild on it. The 914 kinda got on the back burner. But I still have it, waiting for the urge to do more metal work - seriously wish I could get that part tackled. Thinking of getting back to it. I'll post updates when I do.
Again thanks for hitting me up, everyone who did, means a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

This is a great thread and I'd love to watch you finish this. At the time, I was so consumed with my own project that I missed this one dropping off the Radar. Looking forward to the resumption of your build and hope that it isn't too far away. Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I realized how much I had followed your progress as I cut out rusty parts of my own. Kinda figured you were still around, then realized you weren’t, good to hear you are ok. |

I've been easing back into working on the 914, been working on it like a day or 2 a week. Pretty slow going but as long as I keep making some progress, I think I'll get there.
It had been like years since I worked on it so, instead of jumping back into the hell hole, I decided to get some momentum tackling the other end which I'd always kind of dreaded getting further into. Back on page 1 of the thread, I had this at the driver side cowl. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.914club.com-11782-1291419166.1.jpg) Somewhere around page 3 I'd taken off the whole driver front fender. I think if I had to do it again, I would have cut the fender and left the front of it on - best to plan so you can weld where you can back it, and not mess with the seams as much. But I've been looking at this for a few years now, thinking about how to go about it.  The driver door getting hyperextended did a number on the door pillar plus the rust at the top from I guess the cowl seal going bad.  Te cowl section was rusted thin and damaged a bit when taking the fender out. -Tricky area for real. I decided to go in. I got a little out of hand on the windshield pillar, and Ill have to fix that some...   I went further in with that out of the way. The inner fender well rust and then the damaged area of the door pillar.  I bent up a replacement panel. The metal seems thicker here, idk. I used a bit of a scrap piece of a trunk that has a rear inner fender well that seems thicker also.    I had another door pillar from the parts car that I'd saved. It's rough getting the part I needed off. I should have taken a pic of it once I drilled out all the spot welds holding it, but you can kind of see here after closing them up and grinding them down flush.   It took awhile to get the cut and the piece fitted, and I've been working on building up the lip at the top of the inner fender well where it was damaged from removing the fender, and at the front. Next to fix the fender itself and put the pillar patch back in. I'm pretty slow, but I wanted to update even if it's now actually less together than it was lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) This should be easier than the hellhole and will feel good to get conquered, needs to be done... anyway, coming along again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

nathanxnathan - So glad to see you still have the car and are back at it. We all, (mostly) know how things happen in life and projects get set aside for a bit. Life is complicated and can get messy. I am very happy to see you back at it and making progress. Soon the metal work will behind you and then it is all down hill at speed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I met Nathan at the old Aliso Viejo cars and coffee. He was in a VW bus and super interested in all of our 914s.
I forgot about this thread too, good to see him back at it. Life is too short to not drive your 914. |

Just for fun today I read through this (monumental) build thread. Wow I was hoping to see a completed awesome ride in the end, but as many of us (me included) have gotten stalled mostly because life gets in the way.
Hopefully you can get back into this, great workmanship with the completed work |
