@Mitox

Late answer, sorry, just saw the question. I believe he used the simple sprayer typically used with the Bed liner kits.

More seam sealer pics. The inside and the trunks have been primed, and we are finishing the seam sealer. Using urethane sealer first with a brush finish, then following up with sprayed sealer in an attempt to match the original look.

I have a question for anyone that can help. There is a seem on the back side of the sail panels where a small permanently mounted section of the engine cover is. Does it have sealer at the locations shown in this pick? (Not my car, but it shows the area well)

It’s been a few years since I stripped everything, so I can’t recall.

No sealer in the long seam from the factory.
The area close to the glass is space for the rubber seal
Both are difficult to 'flood' with paint.
I've never seen rust jump out of that area in spite of how vulnerable it looks.

Thanks for the info. My vague memory is the same for the seam n the side , however I think I remember digging out seam sealer from the section just under the window. I’ve also looked through the part diagrams and can’t find a seal that would be in this location.

Does anyone have a rubber seal in the section under the window?

A few months later and it’s starting to look like a 914 again.

We’re working on the metal flared rockers, the front bumper cut-out, and the front valance: pics to come.
