Well, we yanked the motor a couple of weeks ago to get it ready for MUSR and I started really digging into the car yesterday with the motor out and well, I found this. HELL HOLE!

Or Clay and I can show you how to make your own

Jason, you and your Dad better get your registrations in if you want a T shirt -

Put that car on a trailer and bring it - we can have a tech session working on cars -
Or set up 1000 watt flood lights in the parking lot at night and work on cars -
YEA - thats the ticket!!!

Jason,
Mine was that bad at one time. And the fender was worse....

This is what I started with.

I have to admit... I didn't do the replacement. I paid a body shop. While I can do body work, I take way too long doing it.

It took the body shop a year to do the body and paint work on my car.

Yes, I AM short. But I have no problem driving a 914. I can reach the pedals fine with the seat all the way forward.

You better get going as its getting worser by the minute just looking at it.

Cut it out and replace it with good metal and save the long.
