I just started restoring my mostly rusty 914/4, 73. I’m looking for parts and a donor car but want to start. Plan is complete tear down and then repair, replace and reassemble. Likely years beginning to end. I took all weather stripping off, carpet and seats out to clean and inspect but need advice in organizing.
For the more experienced what works? Do you start in one area, take everything off, clean, record, label and store away based on section of car? All left door bits go in ‘left door’ tote with each part labeled. Do you track parts working condition or is that more assembly section. I’ve worked on cars before but never to this level of tear down. I’ve searched and got more lost. |

keep all of the original parts and label very thoroughly
things like "left door panel hardware" right rocker panel hardware right door latch and screws label the switches with the wire color numbers that plug into them the more labeled baggies the better, then put those labeled baggies in a box, for example labeled "door hardware". Or "dashh switches" Put any hardware you can screwed into its original piece, make drawings about how something came apart if difficult ri I just started restoring my mostly rusty 914/4, 73.
