The hell hole. The engine shelf on passenger side will need replace. Some work on the wall next to engine shelf/battery tray will need some patching. Looking down into the hell hole though doesn't look rusty. The suspension consoles look good also. I'll know more one day when the motor comes out.
Note: I reached in there and yanked on the rusty metal with my hand and pulled it up....there you see the rubber mount with screw poking out for where the fuel pump used to be located. Attached thumbnail(s)

Wow, that is a beautiful car.
What are the plans on the trunk and front panel? Are you going to have it dipped or stripped? |

Front panel behind the bumper will need some work. Rear trunk is all good. Hell hole needs some work from what i can see but not bad. Lots of Eastwood rust encapsulator is on the list for that "while I'm in there" stuff.... :-) |

An update on my project: The biggest update I have is that there is no update. That darn thing called a "job" that gives you this thing called "money" so that those little rugrats called "kids" can do "stuff" that costs you the aforementioned "money" gets in the way.
I am hoping to find some time this holiday weekend to get back at it. I'm still at the stage of getting the dash out of the car. I'm hoping for a fruitful weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

Well, looks like I won't be making the due date for the rebuild challenge. (I kind of knew a few months ago anyways). Had to move the teener over to its side of the garage. Sadly, it has a few boxes and other items stacked on it also. Those will be gone soon enough.
I'll be back working on this some more in the fall. Attached thumbnail(s)

Life gets in the way sometimes. I am sadly (for me) going to end up having to sell my project. It's still sitting in the garage after all of this time. Anybody have any way to value this 914 before I put it up for sale?
