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. |

Like everybody else has said, take a lot of pictures as you take it apart. Zippie baggies are your friend, as are plastic totes. I even designate a shelf area and that area is tagged with the vin# and description of the vehicle. Going on my 16th year of restorations and I still do this to every single car.
