Howdy All,
This is the start of a new thread and the progress I am making on this little 914 car. First off, let me give you a little history. I had a WANTED ad in the craigslist area for Tucson and PHX. I got a call from a man stating he had a 914 that he wanted 1500 bucks for. We talked about the car. It ran, drove and he said it would make the drive to Tucson. We talked a little more and we determined he would take 1300 bucks for it. I arrange a rental car, drove to Prescott, dropped off the rental and then met the guy. It was a little rough at first but the car did start and drive... Well? No. Badly... Yes. I decided to go for it and started out the drive. It did infact make it all the way home in the heat of the day and over the mountains. = ) Anyway, so its now home, on stands and ready to begin its new life. Here are some pictures to start the thread. Eric     |

No disrespect to this forum but if you're looking for basic paint advice, check into paint101.com. It's a board specifically for autobody painting and has a ton of good info and a bunch of pros to answer almost any question you have. Beyond that, this board is invaluable for paint advice specific to the 914. I wish I could give you some of that advice based upon experience, but I'm at least 6 months away from that point.
Doing your own paint job is a great experience and you won't regret it. Tom |
