Hello,

i'm in progress to restore a 914/6. The car is stripped to bare metall and i found some rust here
and there, but not as much as expected. Fortunately the longitudinals are as well o.k. .

All four fenders are disassembled, so i do not have to worry about them.

That's not the first 914 that i rebuild, but this time i'd like to make it very clean.

Now here's my question: Does anybody has experience with media blasting and the pros
and cons of it ?

many greetings and "luftgekühlte grüsse aus berlin"

Hey Benno,

If you don't do big smooth surfaces, like the hoods or the fenders (they can warp from pressure and heat), you should be fine.
Take it to a place that does cars, not just an industrial blaster.

cheers,

Jeroen
