Front end starting to look complete. The new seal for the bulkhead is a Little to tall for my lightweight hood, not sure what to do about that just now...

I've also been on a Swedish 914 meet, in total 6 914's where 4 was drivable and two under restoration. This one is a factory GT!

The drivers...totally worth driving 4 hours one way to see these cars in the flesh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

You are making some great progress, really enjoying this thread. I really like white on a 914!

Mats,

How far are you local 914 experts from the 914/6 located in southern Sweden, near the border....seems southwest of Stockholm?

Any local guys who might want to go take a look at it for the community and post your findings?

There is a thread on the main page here regarding a 914/6 sportomatic for sale....its that car.

I'm not quite sure how he did it but I've dashed the lines where there are seams done and the continus line there we filled the cavity with a high density foam and stretched the fabric over the foam to produce a smooth surface.

Nice! But what's with the other edges of the cams? It looks as if they are not smooth! Or am I wrong?

There's some minor burrs from the lasercutting, I'll smooth that down before I do the final assembly...
