Restoration Design needs your help to determine what 914 part to make next. I listed three here, but if you have any other ideas as to what part would be a good addition let us know.

Of those 3, IMHO the front trunk floor is the most often needed, esp. for AC removal retrofits.

Here are a couple of other ideas for more needed parts & the reasons why needed -

1. 70-74 Front Wall body Panel (behind bumper) - often damaged in F-end accidents & rust at bumper/foglight/horn attachments
> the front wall brace(s) inside the trunk would be nice too, either separately or pre-welded to the F-wall.

2. L & R Headlight Buckets & drain tube (70-74 w/ knock-outs for 75-76) - rust damage

3. Replacement F Trunk Seal channels (curved & straight & angels0 - often rusted by trunk seal holding moisture & rusting thru

4. 70-74 Rear Wall body Panel (behind bumper & betw taillights) - often damaged in R-end accidents & rust for leaky taillight seals

5. Underbody pan sections at L & R Front Suspension Cross-member Struts/Braces Attachments (R most common) - rust due to water & windshield washer fluid leakage into bottom of fuel tank compartment, & critical suspension area stress

6. Steering Rack Cover Panels - rust & road debris damage

7. 72-76 Full Engine/Cockpit Firewall Panel with F Engine Shelf & Heat/Sound Pad & Wiring Harness Clips - heat/sound pads hold moisture against firewall/shelf & cause rust damage on later 914s (70-71 had no pads IIRC).

8. Full Hell Hole Replacement Kit &/or Pre-Assy. (Long, Inneer Wheel House, Susp. Console, Motor Mount, Engine Shelf, Battery Tray/Support, etc.) - RUST!

9. Engine Tin Sets - rust damage, road hazard losws, lazy mechanics & DAPO's not putting them back on, etc.

I'm sure others can add some to their wish list! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I say above mostly 70-74 models - not as a slam against 75-76 914s - but because there were far more 914s built & therefore surviving in the first 4 years of production, plus I have a 73 & am most familiar with issues that MY & similar MYs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
