Big thanks to Craig for helping to facilitate picking up our new 914. Turned out to be a great day and a great drive back home.
914 is better than I would have thought. Thanks again Craig! Dan & Michelle Attached thumbnail(s)

Since everything over on this side was so solid and only a section was hacked out of the shelf for the AC, I opted to graft in just the part that was cut out. I sourced the weatherstrip rail from Rich and built my own little metal shelf section. Welded, painted, done. That took hours to do.
I didn't weld up the two holes for the AC lines, just found some metal "plugs" at a local hardware store and they snapped into place. Why bother with anything else right now. It'll keep the road grime out of the engine bay. Attached thumbnail(s)
