Cool shots. Did you figure out how the orange got there?


Maybe the factory knew that orange 914s are the fastest... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Yeah the rear has definitely been clipped. I will have some reworking to do back there. the job was good, but not great. In addition, 3 of the 4 quarters were also replaced. Both fronts and the left rear. Only the right rear was original. By the looks of things I'm fairly certain this was done a long time ago using factory panels except for the trunk, which interestingly enough was actually a trunk from another 6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Back then cutting up a 6 was probably no big deal. Nice that it matches.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It'd be interesting to know if that other 6 is still out there somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I am very pleased with what you have uncovered thus far. I believe a thread like this, laying it all bare for all to see, is a great way to show the differences in build btwn. a 4 and a 6, or a mild restoration and full blown one so people have an idea what to look for and expect.

As far as any panels that were not correctly installed and up to Scott's standards....guess what? Off they come and they will be reinstalled correctly. I have absolute confidence in Scotty B!

Thanks again Scott for the great work and keeping this thread moving with terrific pictures. Michael

Last wheel well and rockers are done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm going to box up the undercoating and weigh it just for S & giggles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Jack triangles will be replaced I will probably also cut off the jack point on the pass side as it is prettt crusty and I'd like to make certain the long behind it is o.k. I find it interestign how the rustiest areas on the car so far are where they got soaked with oil from the coolant lines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If the lines were always weaping oil, maybe the PO was always hitting that section with detergent and water to try to keep clean?
