Man that is a labor of love. You are doing it right! Just went through the entire thread from the beginning. I had some breaks in time with my car too, but finally made it. Hang in and keep the updates coming! Everyone loves to see progress. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We've been working away slowly on my brothers 914. When we went to replace the rear trunk pan we found that the rear panel was damaged at some point in the past. Looks like it was backed into something vs being hit in the rear. So off it came and a new section was ordered from our friends at RD. Also in the works is the steel flare install.

It makes me sick to see the condition of many similar project cars in the beginning, and then amazed at the skill and determination exhibited to bring them back to life. Great work y'all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Got a few more things knocked off my brothers 914 project list.
Rear RD panel is in, R/R flare welded on, Maddog inner frame kit installed, and tested fitted the new rear trunk pan. Need to order some longer spot welding tongs then we can finish up the rear trunk.

Worked on the rear trunk pan today. The spot welder worked great and best of all no grinding to do.

I really like the spot welder you are using. Yes, no grinding!

The only downside is it's heavy so it takes two of us to work it. One holds the spot welder while other lines up and welds. I'll have to get some pics next time I'm at my brothers place. We finished the rear trunk pan install, rear sway bar brackets are in, and knocked out a few other small items. We did forget to install the lower trunk pan to rear panel/bumper support brackets. Oh well, it's on the to do list now.

My brothers car has reached a huge milestone on Wed. The 914 is now blasted so epoxy will go on sometime early next week. Going out shortly to vacuum up some sand that was left over from blasting. The blast also revealed several more spots that need attention prior to primer.

Looking good! What cam's are you running?

I had my 3.0 with DC19 cams, weber 40's, 1 1/2" headers, re-curved dizzy for carbs and a good flowing muffler. Man it was a lot of fun. I was on a race track with a 81' 911 on slicks and I lapped him after about 10 minutes...

Since you have new pistons you can probably do even better cams...

Hi Rory, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yeah we've been working like crazy here. Think I'll push my 6 blast out a few weeks so I can knock out my brothers 914. Plan is to prep the chassis for epoxy and spray color in the trunks, interior, and whole underside. We are gonna try and get that all done within 1 to 2 weeks. Then get the car back on it's wheels. The body work can then be done as time goes.

The blasting was a mix of sand and soda. I can still get a taste of the soda here n there.
All wet blast which is what they call dustless blasting. Keeps the panels from being damaged. It makes a mess still. We spent a few hours sucking out sand from the chassis. I plugged as many holes as possible prior to blast but stuff still gets everywhere.
I have the 914 in my heated garage with fans blowing 70 degree air all around it. So far a few spots flashed but over all not too bad. See if we can get epoxy on by Tues or Wed.

Yes, we installed different cams. They should be fine for a street car. I believe Mark Henry is running the same cams in his 3.0 as well. Web Cam, grind # 120/104 , Part # 05-261. It should go down the road just fine.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Oh what a PIA it has been getting all of this sand out of the chassis. We did get to spray a door in epoxy on Tues. Then the rain moved in and that was it for the day. We will do some welding on the chassis either today or tmrw. The blast exposed several areas that need some minor attention. We are gonna get all of the smaller parts in epoxy and leave the chassis for last.

Well after weeks of cleaning and prepping we finally got my brothers 914 in epoxy, seam sealed and into paint. The whole underside, inner fenders, engine bay, interior, and both trunks are body color. The exterior needs to be finished yet. We still need to do a final sand and clean to the body. Once that's done my brother will have a buddy of his that does paint work finish the exterior. We got the suspension installed along with the steering column. Still waiting on several brake parts to arrive then will get the brakes all plumbed and bled before she heads out of my garage. Meantime we will install a few other items. Stay tuned.

Luke your brothers car looks great !
When in the middle of that process it seems the jobs just keep piling up....
the more you do the more you STILL have to do.....there's no way out...but
with every complete part there is a good feeling of accomplishment.
You've done plenty.
Fantastic !
What color will it be ?..... looks Gray ?
You've taken a good order of jobs....paint insides and bottom including wheelhouses
then make it a roller, do the dash and wiring, etc.etc. then onto paint.
Looks beautiful !

Hi Rory,

Seams like the to do list never ends..lol

Like you said do more now vs later. I'm thinking that will also help with not scratching the new paint job too. Color is almost a Gray primer looking color. Think it's a Dodge color code. I'd have to confirm with my brother as he got the paint. See how the weekend goes here as we may knockout a few more things.
