We need Pete to get a shipment from Mittlemotor so we don't have to pay that shipping per piece. Those are the parts I would use for a 914-6. Maybe cost prohibitive for the 4's but with prices rising... maybe not.



These Parts are on the market since 2..3 years, the price was much higher, as far as I remeber about 1200Euro per pice. Now it is okay at least for 914-6 restoration. I will sell the pice from RD and will order from Mittelmotor.

If you order in Germany you must also pay additional fees( custome) ore how is this in US?

The sheet metall I already have for my car and my 2nd 914-4 2.0



Nice 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Another $$$ factor to consider is fiddling time to get the RD/AA to fit. If your paying to have the work done. Sometimes it might be a wash.
Another nice thing about the Mittlemotors piece, it has the recess/step for the floor panel. RD/AA piece is flat.

The part from MM is much more like the genuine part and both sides are available.

I already bought many parts from MM and they always delivered good quality. I like them but there is another company "memminger" they collected many parts, do you know them ?

I've tried several times to make contact with Memminger. I've called and emailed them with no reply to date. I know they where on " holiday " at the time but not responding to a message or email in weeks doesn't sound like good business practices to me. I didn't know that Mittlemotors offered a replacement right long.
I'll reach out to Mittlemotors next and report back.

Ok, so I've called Mittlemotors and all I get is no answer. Yes, I made sure I called them when they're open for business. I also tried to email them but gets bounced back. So, is there any member in Germany that would be willing to make contact with them ? I'd like to know if they have the right inner long for sale and willing to ship to the US.

Nice tool but it is still a dirty long process.

Not sure that you know who you are getting advice from, but Rick is the real thing. He has helped many people straighten out things that looked impossible. I suggest following his advice as he has done this for a living. Some people like puzzles formed in metal and Rick is one of them. He can reverse an origami to flat rice paper.

Hello Luke, Mittelmotor responded on every mail I send to them, also calls are possible. I know they are sometimes really busy because the spare part deparment is responsible for the incoming calls/shipping and the guys which are currently in there office asking for parts.
I will order the right long from them I let you know!

Hello Worn,
The tool was the best choise, I chemical treatment ,sand/soda blasting is very expensive in Austria, also I have my doubst that the used medium can be removed out of all hollows.

I try to fix all rusted areas before I will remove all the paint an prepare for painting again.

I will poste additional pictures soon .

I got a hold of them this morning and the parts guy requested a picture/info of the part. I sent him an email with the info so I should hear back in a few days or so.

Keep up the work and post lots of pics of the repair.
I'll be going down that same road on my 6 at some point.

The damage you asked about (I circled it in red) and if this is the area that you're referring to that's not damage. That's a factory bend in the inner fender .

Maybe a previous owner was trying to improve tire to body clearance? I have similar dings on my car which I assume is where the larger tire was rubbing on the body.
