Got the right inner fender patch in. Installed the nos right long and test fitted the inner rocker. I need to make some final tweeks to the long prior to welding it in.

Works great. I have a few plug welds to do as well. I'm gonna try and use the spot welder wherever I can to make it look factory. I got a set of 12" CLOSE QUARTER WELDING TONGS but still having a clearance issue at the front fender channels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
I may have to modify one of the welding tips.

Ran out of gas for my mig welder so I'll get the tank swapped out tmrw. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

How I hate grinding but turned out pretty nice.

Got the pass floor pan done. Installed the adjustable seat brackets, welded in the lower inner and outer fire wall repair patches. Check that off the list.

It's official the right long is in... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Good thing I have the bench fixtures while doing this.
The whole rear portion was off by a good 1/4'' to the outside and 1/2'' to the rear.
After about an hour of dealing with the issue the welding started. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Tested fitted some panels this morning. Looks like everything needs to be shifted backwards 3/8'' . Starting to look like a car again.

@Luke M - I am now using the picture right above this is my screen saver. That is the coolest picture I have seen laying the chassis bare. Outstanding work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Great work Luke, too bad many of us are working with backyard fixtures (at best) to get our loose 914's aligned. I suspect many of them are far from aligned to factory specs.

Thanks Guys. Working away here today. Started to spot weld the floor pan to long. Michael I watched your 6 being worked on by Kent. I got a lot of knowledge by watching how Kent removed the panels and fitted them. Today I spent several hours test fitting the NOS panels and adjusting the inner fender/inner rocker. First I have to seal the inside of the long then weld her up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Wow Luke, that's some gold lying on the floor. That is going to be one killer Six. I know you and Kent would be great friends if you met. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
