Good Luck fortunately, the previous owner fixed the hell hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) What do you call the longs? |

you may want to post some pics of that asap. rust compromises those longs and that car will start folding in half. welding there is tricky and if not done right the car will never be the same..it might be easier (and cheaper) to get another body and take all your parts off this one. but its your call
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) good luck and keep the pics coming |

We need the BIG picture Dont know what they call it, but its a teal. After removing the sail panel's vinyl I noticed that the color was different. thats the only part of the car that the color is different. it is a dark green compared to the teal in the whole car.. Does that mean the teal is not the original color? |

Does that mean the teal is not the original color? Odds are no Look at the Karrman Plate located on the drivers door jamb. It should have a letter and number combo post that and refer to the 914 facts and you will see the real color of your teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

You are right, as I take things apart I find that green on more spots , like under the bumper. Does changing the original color decreases the value of the teener?

Did you find the Karmann Plate on the driers side door jamb? I did not go back and look yet. What else would decrease the value on a restoration? If I choose to paint it one of the original 914 colors does that co Promise or does it have to be the exact same color. I don't like that original green. |
