Great work man! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Our cars are in similar condition. I will be referencing your build thread when I tie my inner & outer console together. |

Its been a long time since I updated this thread, but my 914 has not been forgotten. This thread is now very inappropriately titled because I have moved again and the car still has not gone to the crusher. My 914 is now sitting comfortably in the middle bay of my 3 car garage just outside Philly in NJ - garage has a second floor too. Yeah, bought the garage, and a house came with it. Got all the ladies comfortably in there (funny that my GFs car sits outside and I ride my bike/train to work):
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.2.jpg) Well, its a little tight, but it will do. Anyway, moved last November, and since then have been swamped with unpacking, house projects, yard maintenance (ick) and work. Recently I've been able to spend some quality time in the garage, got everything set up, did some rewiring, hung some lighting, and yes, even worked on the 914. I pulled off the driver's side rear fender because a previous owner did a crap, not completed, repair. I don't even have a pic of it, but it involved two pieces of fender stick welded together so I'm sure you can imagine how bad it was. Underneath the fender I found this: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.4.jpg) Crappy lap jointed inner fender bit, hidden with bondo in the truck (honestly, who uses bondo in the trunk) and secured with braze. Ick. Fortunately there was enough of an overlap that I could cut the "patch" out without the brazed edge, trim it, and tack it in: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i19.photobucket.com-1410-1349652963.6.jpg) Definitely still have plenty more to do to finish it off, but progress at least. -Chris |
