I'm thinking the guys who painted the lines on the road had a few too many "Mickey's" over lunch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The wavy lines are painted both sides of a pedestrian crossing. On pain of death or something slightly worse ( the stocks perhaps) you are not allowed to park cars within them in England. So, tho' you alternately scald or freeze your hands when you wash them in a sink, your chances of surviving crossing the road with the cars coming from the wrong direction are greatly enhanced because you're very visible.
The body guy is probably used to MGBs, which have rockers ( the castle section) that are not all that different from 914s. Add the quality of the 914 body when compared to the shall we say "interesting" concepts applied to the average MGs construction and this repair should be a doddle.

Hi Roman, Great to see a 914 getting the attention it deserves (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have you decided which route to go with/without flares yet? If it were me and I had the opportunity to, Steel flares would be being tacked on.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Rod, (yes ddk Rod.)

Yep, I have the flares, just cannot decide if I want boxster or cup wheels, really confused about what length spacers I am going to need. I am also wondering if speed yellow is the colour to go for!

Someone parting out a car will have one for you.

Just post a WTB in the classifieds.

Good luck with the repairs, looks like it is being done well.

You will basically have a new 914 when you get done, and with the modern rust
prevention paints and all it should be good for decades more.

Kudos to you for reviving a car most of us would have cut up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
It's nice to see a 914 fixed right, so I know at least a few will be around for a loooong time.
