Threads like these prove that almost any car can be saved!

Although the current values of 914's makes these kinds of repairs hard to justify (if you are paying someone), it is great to know that some people have the skill and perseverance to bring a car back from the brink!

Well done, sir...well done! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Very nice panel fit!! I have done some of that rust repair and can appreciate your work.

How do you like the "Rust bullet"? I have used in on my repairs and like it a lot, much better than POR15. And since I have a silver rust bucket, it almost fits perfect.

First I'd like to say thanks for the kind words about my old k-rusty 914! And yeah Dragan my experince w rust bullet is that its a great product, I do as it recommends and apply 2 coats. I've also used a rust converter called rust-mort which seems to do a good job too. I do my best to show rust no mercy. So far I've been jumping all around chronologically, so fire up the delorean and set the flux capacitor to June/July of this year. Heres a little pass side sail panel, door jam, sill plate repair pics.

Its been about 2 wks since posting any pics so its time to get back to it! Heres a few of the ft fender tacked back on. I'm leaving it just tacked for now because I think I'm gonna cut it back off again later. It seems a little low compared w the hood and years ago when I pulled the damage out from my fender bender I felt like it may need to be pulled up some more. Even though my car isn't getting any paint right now I want panel fit and gaps to be as good as I can get them. So we'll see how this ends up later.

Heres a few more after painting but due to bad lighting you can't see anything on the pass side. And one of the flr pans too.

So weekend before last it was time to take it off the "jackstands"! Doug offered to help me with getting it down and I would like to say thanks again for the help! The first pic is from aprox 2 yrs ago when it was going up and the second is from 2 wks ago when it came down. I still can hardly believe its not in the air anymore!!!!
