Had two day of fun days of driving the 914 after I bought it last Fall. Wanted to replace the interior which was totally gone and a few other projects and get it back on the road by early Spring.
I have pulled the seats, carpeting, door panels, and dash to have replaced or redone. I have also pulled the fuel tank, and all the air duct and vent parts out so the cockpit is down to sheet metal. Last night I was pulling the old brittle lower gasket to the windshield out when the windshield decided to crack. So now I have the windshield out. I had planned to just replace the interior and have fun with it this Spring and Summer then do a total disassembly down to the sheet metal and have it repainted next Fall and Winter. After getting this far I am torn between keep going and strip every thing else off and start prepping it for a total paint job or start going back together so I can have some fun with it this Spring and Summer then do the paint next Fall. |

the taking it apart and putting it back together business ends right before you decide to sell it. LOL! So true. Mine is still on jackstands. Drove it around the block twice. Keep it road worthy as long as you can. I hope to have mine stretable next year if my funds and free time hold out. |
