Other than normal tools, what sort of tools will I need in order to put together a 914-6 that is entirely disassembled? Which tools are the "would be nice to have" and which are "essential?" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Thanks

a broomstick or even an eyeball can be enough to line-up the clutch.
There's several specialized tool you need if you're rebuilding the engine, to time the camshafts most notably.
You'll also need to figure a tool out to put the rear trunk springs in.
And get every variant of a 13mm tool you can find: box end, of course, offset end, swivel socket, swivel drive for 1/4 inch socket extension, open end etc . . .
There may be more.
