Hello,
This is a thread about late hours in my garage trying to get 1970 914-6 back to life.

There are already hundreds pics in here:
http://www.harrasteet.1g.fi/kuvat/OmaPossu+II/

One question, what are these holes for? Spot welding?

I don't know for sure, but my guess is those holes are for when they dipped the bodies at the factory.

Are the flares steel or fiberglass? What is the serial number? I am constantly trying to find my old one.

Add the serial number to the database please!

Then to the biggest problem of this car. Drivers side front corner has some signs of past accident. It's been repaired badly. It's more than inch up and and bent little right too. That can be taken care with "celeste bench".
Front boot floor has some bad crinkles (right word?) and inner fender is not right shape. How to take care these?
Some pics there: http://harrasteet.1g.fi/kuvat/OmaPossu+II/...t+boot/Problem/

The celette bench will get the basic attachment points back to factory specs.

The wrinkled sheet metal will need to be replaced or hammered back to where it belongs.

I'm in the same boat with my original /6. Tons of sheet metal that needs replacing or massaging. A good automotive body guy will know how and what to do.

Yes, that's the chassis number. Also usually written with crayon on the backside of the dash sub-frame.

A quick search using the keywords "+chassis +number" got quite a few results, including the one below.

I find it hard to imagine anyone would try to change that number - most people don't even know it's there. And I've seen them in at least 2 different spots

I did research on this over the years and it does have the correct numbers for a 1970 914-6 as it is discribed in the link Andy posted!

Notice the chassis number is 2045 and the vin number is 2344 so they are within 299 chassis!

It is the one on the left and the part# is 914.351.801.00!

The one in the parts catiloge only shows 5 holes around the center in the photo but I would guess that is just to represent the differences!
