This is my 10,000 post on the world forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) and the start of a new build thread.

As some may know I purchased a project car for Sandy. She has been wanting a 914 of her own for awhile now. In order to qualify the car had to be an unusual color and not rusted in half. Oh, and it had to be low priced. I have two kids in college and Sandy's working on her Masters.

I purchased a car that was used as a parts donor for Bryanf' car. The color is Revenna. This met the first qualification. The photos show the car is pretty nice as far as 914 rust goes and Bryan allowed me to buy the car right.

I'm traveling to Half Moon Bay to recover the car. My oldest son Aric will be with me. We are leaving March 9th and plan to drive straight through. As part of the trip we want to put our feet on the ocean, maybe check out Chris Julian's Ultima and maybe turn a wrench or two on Rob Ways Dad's car.

Here's a couple of photos of the car. I think there are a few more parts missing than are displayed. I will be hunting for used stuff after I have a chance to see what I have.

The hell hole has light surface rust!!! No hole!

Here's the bad... Hit in the front which is the reason it became a parts car.

Hereis a photo of the new parts that started to arrive today! Sandy was excited enough to go on ebay and make an offer on a set of 2.0 euro P&C's. She offer $ 169.00 and the seller accepted!

We have been discussing names for her new car. Lots of funny and cool names have been suggested. Sandy was thinkin maybe "Abby" It's kind of a play on words and came from a discussion we were having. It won't happen until the time is right.

It started out as "Alien Baby". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)


So, Here's the start of a new chapter. Follow along if you want.

Good luck.

I found a local hotrod shop that was looking for work.
He painted all the parts, I put it all back together.
I slight tap with a 5 lb hammer in several spots got me back on track with the tub....just a little area that got pushed in from the bumper.


For the 914, as I crawl along at a snails pace...
I am wondering if any rattle can primer could be used as the base to cover up my work for some time.
With the plan to go over everything with real primer from a spray gun later (much later) and then high build, sealer etc etc.

Any experience with a specific brand of rattle can that works?

PPG sells one at the paint store, but I thought all rattle can primer is made up of the wrong materials...

A little off topic but I have used self etching in a can when I had a spot or two that I did not want to mix up and spot in to save gun cleanup. That could work . You could always sand it off when your ready to move onto a 2K or something.

Finally took some time and rented a booth to shoot the shell and doors for Sandy's car. Loooooong way to go yet but at least I don't have to sit and look at this car in primer any longer. This is right out of the booth.

Crappy smart phone camera. My son Aric and I tag teamed it Friday night and painted it in memory of my Best friend and brother in-law that we lost to cancer on Thursday. Dave and his son Dave Jr. would have been right there with us. Davey stopped by to check on us but couldn't stay for obvious reasons.

So here's to David! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) We stood shoulder to shoulder working on cars and family. We'll miss you.

This picture highlights the reason I prefer painted sails. There is a graceful sculpting where the kicked up fender meets the end of the sail that is lost when the vinyl and shiny trim is added.

Great color!

To be honest, I didn't even notice that cool curve when there is no sail vinyl.

I was going to post a question about whether I should add the vinyl or leave it as is. I guess I got my answer. Glad you all like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) Wait until you see the stripe... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Sorry to hear of your loss, Rick. I am certain that your nephew still has a great role model, even though he no longer has his dad.

I think sail vinyl depends a lot on the color of the car. I like it present more often than not, especially when the roof is on. But this color has me undecided. I think it will look great either way.

Tail lights are in and working, headlight motors and lifts are in, windshield is in.

My son Aric is going to continue working on the car while I'm in Toronto.
