My goal is to build a vintage racer. I have restored one 914 already but want to have a little fun with this one. It is in need of a lot of work but that's the part i enjoy most. I have the car completely stripped down and parts are in for the rear floor pan, cross member, and inner firewall. The car is on a rotisserie and has been supported with braces in the door wells and measurements are dead on. That's the good part. The bad part comes next. Time to remove those pieces. That's where i can use some advice. Is there a best way to remove those or do i just start cutting away? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I would spend some time reading a lot of the restoration/rustoration threads and see how others have done it. Then I would tackle it one panel at a time. Depending upon your welding skills you may want to practice welding on old panels first to get dialed in. Take your time and don't overheat the metal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I have been reading every thread and watching every video i can find. I am still looking to see if it is best to remove all three at once then replace with new or remove one at a time and spot weld to surrounding pieces that will not be replaced. Im thinking all three at the same time but wanted to get some advice in the matter before starting. Thanks for the feedback. |
