914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Something I put together

Posted by: dlee6204 Sep 13 2008, 12:36 AM

I was feeling lazy this afternoon so I went ahead and I put together all the pictures of the work I did to my father's 74' 914. He bought the car back in 2003 and over the course of 4 years I repaired all the rust on the car. I just thought I would share. Enjoy.

Very impressive. Is there any part of the body shell that wasn't repaired or replaced?

I thought it a bit lame so I added the music for the heck of it. The car was thought to have "minimal" rust upon purchase however it ended up needing:
large portions of both longs replaced, both engine shelves, battery tray, engine latch tube, rear firewall(inner and outer), rear floor, pan, floor cross member, center tunnel repaired, rear taillight panel replaced, rear trunk, front bumper mounting areas repaired, front hood weather stripping channel replaced, all four fenders, inner rockers, sill plates, doors, and trunk lids. Did I miss something? ha Not to mention this was my first rust repair on a 914.

Nice video/slide show.

Have you posted pics of your rotisserie before? Very creative. Looks like it works good, and with the price of steel these days probably cheaper.

Thanks for sharing,

Jim
