a few more pics of the engine and I had the valve cover done in a wrinkle finish and block sanded the letters and now I plan on doing the same for the lowers



I always love the wrinkle black with the 'PORSCHE' script, did it on my car, and man does it look awesome no matter what the engine! Looking good!

trimming rear quarters and removing seam sealer. I see the importance in removing with all the rust living underneath (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I am sorry but I just can't seem to understand this system, the build is amazing. There was a mention of the third seatbelt holes only being on early models just wanted to know how to really confirm age of car.

This was all the feedback I got and from that info would assume all cars with the fixed passenger seat would have them.

lower valve covers were a bit of work milling them down, then out for the wrinkle finish and the grain sanding the fins but I'm happy with the look.

Last step in selling my 72 was get the stock seats redone since the Scheel's go in the -6

Glad I bought the roll of basket weave!!

Hi Andy
This is a real test to your motivation, and your killing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Really nice to see you taking the time to save this 914 and bring it back to where few of us believe they should be, in the front of the pack

QUOTE(Socalandy @ Jan 14 2012, 10:56 PM) *


and order/install console stiffiner kit.



I've been out of the game for a while, can you explain ? are you talking about a tie rod support system?

Thanks in advance and good luck whith the build

Regards

the green stuff is the eastwood converter that ran out and got wiped off, it covered way better than expected and flows into every little creveice. We drilled a few holes to treat enclosed areas. This cars internal areas are sealed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


Did you prep those areas any before you sprayed that stuff in there? Like blow it out, wash it out with rust converter, then water, etc or did you just spray it in there. Just curious. That stuff looks like it might be the way to go for treating the "can't reach" areas. Just wandering what else is involved with using it.

The stiffining kit is installed in the rear wheel wells and around the swing arm console and is recomended for larger motors. this pic is of someones conversion.

As for the the coating from Eastwood I cleaned out what I cound reach and sprayed it in. Here's a paste from their website...

Internal Frame Coating destroys rust hiding inside the chassis, so it doesn’t rust its way throughYou spend time and money restoring a chassis...but what about all that rust inside the frame? Use our Internal Frame Coating to make your chassis rust-free throughout!
•Tough phenolic resin penetrates, converts and encapsulates the rust on the internal surface
•Zinc phosphate seals it to prevent future corrosion
•24"-long tube with conical nozzle reaches in to spray coating in a radial pattern for complete coverage
•Covers 10 sq. ft. per can
•Fully cures in 24 hours
