Hi Everyone !
I have been doing some really cool stuff to my 1974 914. I figure I would post a bunch of pics and show my tub job. This is not a "how to" post but a "how I did". Let me introduce myself, I have been earning money/a living turning wrenches for the better part of my life. I have my garage for 10 years now, and the teener for 13 years. I have had many 914s when I lived on the West coast, North-Eastern Canada is a different story. I have an almost perfect car, stuff dreams are made of, own a garage, and took 3 weeks off. This is what I did. Please note : I always take the full fire and saftey route on these projects, people ask why I bought and extra fire extinguisher. Every time I work on my teener the FE is real close. Chemicals I used are industrial useage, Please take car. PS : I type real slow I have 7 pics to load cheers Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |

I included these shots because I think it is important to check your factory welds in this places and in my case reweld the factories work. You should get good pennetration (hot weld), try to tag all three pieces,supports,inners, and body, together. After one side I had a friend stand watch for fire on the other
side, good penentration. when I tagged them to the floors, you have to watch for fire.I don't have a pic but the seatbelt floor bar is 100% welded, all corners and the kockout is welded 3 layers deep, bar+support+inner long. Lots of serious grinding here, use ear plugs, this is only for apperance, I ground every weld smooth. Attached image(s) |
