Looks great.. The rust worm is interesting to say the least. I plan to spray. Corrosion x in all the cavitys as that will creep into every potential spot on the car..

Its an avaition protectant.



I haven’t heard of Corrosion X; I’ll need to look into that. Thanks

Agreed, I’ve enjoyed working with John. And, while hanging around the shop he lets we help work on my engine and ask a thousand questions.

The chassis reinforcements look awesome.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) More cool stuff came in the mail today; I can’t wait to start reassembly!

Luckily my wife doesn’t even comment when packages arrive at the house now - she knows it’s more 914 stuff.

I need help; my wife says this often, but this time I agree.

I’ve found five painters for my GT. Three retired before “getting to it”, one just didn’t get to it, and the fifth I fear is about to retire. The fifth painter I found is very highly qualified, and would do a great job, but after 16 months of waiting my turn and hearing his retirement plans, I think my turn will never arrive.

Does anyone have recommendations? I live in southwest Virginia and am willing to travel within reason.
- What I’m looking for:
- Highly skilled in body/paint
- high attention to detail
- someone that can replace seam sealer: the car is fully stripped on the bottom, and all seam sealer was removed everywhere inside and out. Car is fully disassembled- just a shell on a rotisserie.
- someone that can verify the chassis is straight/square, and tweak if required
- someone trustworthy

Any recommendations? Please!

Sorry can’t help with a recommendation for a shop near you, but getting back to your decision on what color green to choose, have you considered Willow Green? It’s a super rare 914-6 color. George at AA has one in this color and it’s a stunning car with freaky low miles.

Here’s a pic of another 6 at Luft 6 that was painted this color.

Then again, I always loved my 914-6 that was Metallic Green! God how I still miss that car!

And the rust paranoia continues. Here is the plate in the rear trunk before and after removal. I have a replacement from RD that needs to go on after cleaning the rust off.


May I humbly suggest a different take on a GT trunk reinforcement ?
Your work is beautiful.......and thorough !

Your take looks good; I like the clean look. It’s likely stiffer also

I do like green. The metallic viper green was one of the options I considered, and your car looks great.

Why don't you put a borescope in there and take a look first?
