Hi folks. Been a while since I've been a Porsche owner. I've had a '62 356, a few 914s, a '74 911 and even worked for a while at an independent Porsche shop here in the SF Bay Area. Anyway, I just purchased a '74 914 that's been sitting since 1987. Good news is it was in a covered garage. Got it home and started poking around only to find...
...it's in remarkably good shape. It's got a couple small dings on the body and a crap respray that's literally falling off but other really, no sign of any rust. I've begun collecting parts for the chassis stiffening and 5 lug conversion but have yet to decide on narrow body or flares. Also have to determine V8, 6 conversion, Subaru. (Is it true a Cayenne won't fit?) Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and thank you all for creating and maintaining such a great community. And thanks in advance for answering all the questions that are sure to come. Wish me luck, I'm goin' in! Chris Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I applied weld through primer between all the panels. I'm really after improving my metal working/finishing skills so to make the rosette welds as nice as possible, I wanted to eliminate the spatter I get from the primer. So, I flatted the tip on one of the 7/16 spot weld drill bits and used it to remove the primer from each of the holes.
Hard to tell from the pic but I have nice clean, bare metal for the welds! Too anal? I don't think so! Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
