It will almost be a shame to fit this NOS wing...



Roman you are a star!! Wish I had known you were going to Mittelmotor, could have picked up some bits for me!! Perhaps we should arrange a bus trip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

By the way is there any welding wire left in your part of London........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Well progress has slowed to a crawl because of other commitments of the body guy but all going well things should start to ramp up again in a week or so. In the meantime I found some more treasure, in this case a drivers side i.e. left side NOS window mechanism, fabuloso !!!

Well it has been a while, my bodyman had some work he needed to do on a POS MG Midget, who buys that crap. Anyway he hopes to be able to start spending some time on the 914 now. this is slow, but then again good work has to wait. The floor is now complete as it the area in the front around the pedal cluster. he also finished with the rear firewall. Next he will tackle the holes in the front boot and around the front torsion bar mount although that does not look too serious.

Hopefully the front wings will be reattached before Christmas and in the new year the rear NOS quarter/wing.


Enjoy


Roman

Well i thought I should post an update. Sadly there has been little progress, this is something I am very unhappy about, does not look like I am going to have it ready for this summer which is very annoying indeed.


Anyway on one of my recent visits to see the lack of progress I was shown that the left hand side of the front panel had had a poor accident repair job in the past and my (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) suggested that it would be nice if I could source a repair panel. Well considering that I had never seen one for sale I thought this was a joke. Anyway that evening I had a quick look on German ebay and saw a panel which was complete apart from a piece that somebody had cut off the other side for an identical repair, and it was relatively cheap so a score . All I need know is to have it bloody well fitted.

After what appeared to be eternity work has restarted, took some test fits of the door and rear wing, all looks good, no alignment issues. The door dtriker needs replacing but the repro that i have is good. the inner sailpanel did not fair too well, so it had to be remade, although not obvious in the pictures it is not just flat but does have some shape to it. All going well the LHS should be done this week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That is the frustrating part of having someone else doing the work - while they may be Very good at what they do, they don't have the Passion for your car. Believe me, I went through unhappy, angry, frustrating, & joy in the 3 years my car was at somebody's shop.

I do not weld, and since this is being done for me on a mate's rate I just have to grin and bear it...

Welding is the easy part, the fitting and controlling warping is the tough part. It is coming along though.

Well at least there is progress now. the rear wing is now matched as best it can be and the door gaps are pretty good. The rear valaence needed a bit more work then I though but ist is done now. The other thing was that the pipe to bring the air from the round vent in the door jamb to the interior of the car was rotten so that had to be remade. Front valance next , or maybe the other rear wing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Hope you like the pics.
