Well, thought I would clean up the trunk a little before I took the bumper off to put it on the rotisserie to fix the longs. One thing leads to another. Good place to practice welding, but not fun to shape metal and grind in. There goes the summer...

I think Otto's still had some trunk sheetmetal replacement pieces he was trying to sell about a month ago.

Don't underestimate the time it takes to prep replacement pieces, and the number of spot weld bits....

It took endless hours of staring at all those curves, templates, measuring. The welding would have gone much better, had I known that the roller I had in it was for aluminum (bought it off a guy who last used it to build a aluminum gas tank for the plane he was building in his garage...whole other story). It was feeding irratically, then finally figured out the roller issue, touch a week to get the roller shipped.
lots of rust under the brace, but cleaned up nice.
Lots of time spent cleaning tar and seam sealer out of the trunk, once I started couldnt stop though.

Welds are not the prettiest, but not bad for a beginner, and since the bumper will cover it I didnt really worry about it. I cleanedup the heat shield, alot of seam sealer all over it, was it meant to absorb the heat as well? Just figuring out where weld the heat shield tabs took forever, decided to weld bolts to the tabs so I could seal and paint it all later then just bolt it one.

I should not have expected anything different when I took the front bumper off. Will I ever get this on the rotisserie??

I took a break after this and rented a 911 in Frankfurt while there on business, and drove to the porsche museum for inspiration, but there was only 1 914 there, and it was not a 4 or a six.

Check out the contraption they had in the hotel in Stuttgart to park in, it lifts up so another one can park underneath, scary driving in a rented vehicle.

Your front mounts look slightly better than mine did. I fabricated new brackets and replaced everything, including the wall to the headlight bucket, on both sides. I had to cut the front of each fender of to gain access to the brackets. Look here for what I did http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=188537&hl=

Nice work. I think the mounts will be ok, still need to clean them up and have a closer look once I get the wheels off and also peel back the bumper metal but good to see your approach in case....

I have some replacement fender/bumper area metal en route shortly.

Nice work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Blair rotorbroach + cutting oil + slow speed will last almost forever cutting spot
welds. They cost a lot to start with but cut so much faster than those $15 bits.
