Well, not in SoCal but in Oakland there is a Celette bench at Moal Coach builders. They just had a 914-6 on it. Just a thought- it's 6 hours north of you and maybe an option.

Nice work Rick. I remember Juergen's car when it was prowling the PNW. I hesitate to ask what happened to that -6 you got in SoCal after it was centered on a post.


I have it. Sourcing parts. It's on the Celette.



Good to hear it’s still in the queue. Interesting car that deserved to be saved.

These do not belong on a 914. they were fashioned from scraps off the USS Enterprise. Her debris was found just outside the Milky Way.




They look like rear trailing arm alignment shims.

I received a door that was delivered from the tail of a comet. Early observations sent streaming thru to me by email showed promise. Bill Brunner was very helpful in getting this candidate to Area 51 Werks. The door was as stated and shown in the photos and the price was fair. Once it arrived it hit the operating table. Here is the process of preping for a new life.

Several layers of foriegn matter were removed to expose what was suspected had occurred at the hands of early space pioneers with skills and abliity to pilot a ship but no working knowledge of repairing astroid damage.

The California Rivets hanging through the back side of the skin were exposed and welded closed. The dent was pulled by tacking tig rod to the surface and using light pressure while tapping on the surface to lift the dents.

Several hours were spent with a shrinking disc and other tools to work out the damage. The horizontal marks are low spots and the vertical marks are high spots.

There were a couple reasons the inner frame was removed. As you can see there was a big chunk hacked out of the door for some strange addition for the reproduction of sound as well as cracks from metal fatigue. Once this section was removed access to the outer skin repair were made much easier.

This repair section came from the original door that came with the car.

This is the test fit and trim ready to tig back in. There is still work to be completed to clean up the inside of the door to accept epoxy but were are finally nearing the end.

I have 5 left doors here and this is the best one.

Yes thanks to Bill for offering it up. It is very rust free.

Very nice work Metal Master. Was the advantage of welding TIG rods to the skin as opposed to using standard spot weld studs about more control when pulling and massaging the metal? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I'd love to see a video from you using a shrink disc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have a stud gun but never use it. The tip is spring loaded which requires you to use down force to set the pin. Often the pin creates a crater and sinks the panel. Also you see guys using a slide hammer to jerk the damage out. This to me, is counter productive. I just use a lever (visegrip and verious blocks) an tap the outer edge of the damage to raise the low metal.

Doesn't matter how/what it's called, the technique you are using is working great. Thank you for the tip. Moving metal is an art, much of the old arts are going, going, ....

Hi Juergen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

You've put your car in great hands. Bet you're glad to see the progress.

Blasted the shell. Treated the inner shell with rust disolver three times. Used an encapsulator primer on the inner as well as the seal channel made sure the encapsulator coated the reinforcement where I was unable to clean. You know that place these doors rust from the inside out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)


Welded up the places where the inner structure cracks over time.
