Update of todays work:
Broke out both the front and the rear hood, Joe is working on them as we speak. We decided to spot weld the beams on the undersides, as this makes it much stronger and harder to cause a crease lest someone push down on my rear. Also, put a ton of aluma-lead on the top of the trunk for the same reason. I hate it when that happens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Joe is beating out the front hood and gonna seal up those emblem holes, though I plan on making more later...

Apparently, I may need a new front hood. Atleast since my Father is a Porsche freak, we don't have any shortage, but still.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Stuff is getting done, bondo sanded. As for tonight, I have to help the JDM guys down the way do some vynl for their cars, their going to Willow tomorrow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Yeah, I'm here at the shop all day, and when I'm not working on the car, the body guy is. The support that is under the hood caused a ripple, and I might need a lot of bondo if we cant straighten it out more. Things might be looking up though, I'll know in a few hours. I'm avoiding the wiring. When I was originally taking out the tar from the cabin floor, I was using a Blow torch, before I discovered the magic of Dry Ice. I'm pretty sure I passed over the harness a few times. As for the trunks, I would just recommend getting about a gallon of painted rubberized undercoating, and spraying the trunk, I think it looks really nice. But of course, thats only if your sure there's no rust. |

It's lookin very good!
Be sure to invest plenty of time in that wiring harness. None of the four 914's I've owned were without some wild and crazy re-wiring tricks by the PO's. That would make an interesting post - What was the craziest electrical mod made by the PO? I must have spent nearly 12 hours on the engine harness for my SHO V6 conversion. And that's the smallest of the three harnesses I need to go through. Enjoy! |

I'm starting to slow down. But I plan on putting this back into the gear I was in.... tomorrow, lol.
Primed the rear hood today, it looks really good. Tomorrow, Suspension is getting painted and put back on. As is the Rear Suspension. All this, while Joe finishes the door, both hoods, and engine lid, and seam seals the jams and the trunk. I'm not compromising, that all will be done tomorrow. Oh! Helped out some of the JDM Guys down the way with some vinyl, check it out! But first, the Hood!
