Was the car originally blue or yellow, or is this two cars put into one?

This will be a serious reconstruction. Continue sharing your progress. For the ones here rebuilding theirs, it is motivating seeing other's work.

Working on a friend's 914-6 (see below) and changing out the floor pan lying on the ground, I figured I would build a rotisserie. With the amount of work required and cost of steel, I think I was better off buying one

Here's my friend 914-6. He wants to turn it into a race car. He's waiting on more money to continue the project.

The nightmare was filler primer added to the car on top of rust, damage, etc. had to remove all of it. Car was also full of sand from sand blasting adding to rust all done by PO.

Built this jig. Ended up spending as much in (maybe a little more) than the rotisserie.

FWIW. The blast dust never really goes away totally.

Probably 914 Werke (https://914werke.com/). You may need to call/send an email and ask.
