Finally Done, Restoring a 74 Options

[chandler1969]

Stopped by the body shop today. We have Paint!







In May of 2014, I was hit by a mailman. He hit me square in the passenger rear quarter panel. That was completely replaced from a parts car. While the body guy was working on that, I had him cut out all rust that we could find on the body. Sails, rear hood, on both doors, both front quarter panels and around the door frame. Alot of it he had to cut the rust and weld in new metal. No rust underneath or in the hell hole.

Also had a mechanic with 40 years experience with 914's pull the engine. He replaced all seals, did a valve adjustment, replaced shift rod bushings and front brakes. He also sealed up all the freeze plugs.

I have new tires waiting to be put on as well. Cant wait to drive it! It's going to be like a new car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)



Finally got the car back. It looks really good. I'll take/post more detailed pics shortly. I put new tires on but need to find a place that can do an alignment. NTB said they couldnt for this car. Gotta replace the clutch cable as well.
