Gonna rent fixtures for this one? Looks like fun. I'd come out and help, but I'm allergic to snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It's ok Mark. Duluth is the 'Banana Belt' of the Midwest. They don't actually get any snow to speak of... A lot of people from the Twin Cities go North for a budget vacation in January.

Who is Rod, that knows all about the -6 ??? R Gruppe guys didn't know it got crashed ?? well the ones on FB. Rod took care of the car and did a lot of the work for the P.O. How did it happen ? Is Rocky OK ?? Took a turn too fast and I think the car just understeered into the light pole. Rocky was just fine, albeit a tad shaken up. |

It is going to be very cool to see this car as it is returned to pre-crash condition or better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Rick you are the guy for this rebuild, and the rare lineage on this 914 to the Rgruppe is awesome.
Freeman Thomas , pres. of the Rgruppe does not hand these invitations out too often, and at that only to the early 911 crowd. More info on this cars history when you get a chance. Marty |

Hey nice rack! -Celette Group: Members Posts: 20,729 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Now in Superior WI Member No.: 43 Region Association: Northstar Region |
I'm collecting parts and trimming the donor panels in preparation of the big day. I have every intension of having scotty b here during the big pull on the Celette. We have been chatting about this for some time. He seems to think I can teach him something.
Mark your welcome to come out too. I have a big house with extra beds. Spend a long weekend. It will be a great time. The truth is I need Scotty's metal finishing skills. I absolutely have to save both inner wheelhouses without the use of body filler. Between the two of us I'm confident it will be done. This is key to the success of this repair. It will be a waste of time to have him come if I'm not ready to fit parts. Lots of trimming to do to clean up all the attachment flanges on the parts shown here but I have a nose panel trunk floor and bulkhead. After I'm done trimming the panel I will bring it to the blaster and have it stripped clean of all the orange paint. This clip will look a lot different after it's trimmed. |

As one of the few people here who actually likes to do bodywork/metalwork, I'm definitely tuning in to this! I doubt I'll ever have the facilities to be able to do proper frame pulling, but I do want to learn the fundamentals of unibody repair. Furthermore, having Rick, Scotty and potentially Mark all in the same place is enough reason for everyone to be following this thread.
Can't wait to see the progress! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

This is going to be an incredible re-build to return this car to the street. This car could not be in better hands.

due to my level of expertise, here is the only guidance I can offer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Is that how it works? I better check some things before my next drive. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Well said and I agree totally. Rick, Scotty and Mark have been inspirations for my continual learning of body work/metal work... and the 914 specifically... --- Rob |
