One day the '72 will be back from paint and body and I need to start reassembly.
Is there a method that makes sense to use? Should I follow the sections in the 914 Katalog or does someone else have ideas? Thanks in advance. |

Label each compartment. Works pretty well for me. |

dollar store - about 20 boxes of zip lock baggies and sharpies. Then lots of shelf space (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good suggestion - the big/little boxes combo. My stack of zip lock baggies just will not cooperate and stay "stacked up", those slippery little buggers. I'm also putting a copy of the relevant parts diagram with the baggie of parts. If I could get it all disassembled and reassembled in the same day my memory could probably handle it but when I sleep overnight, well, you know ... where was I going with this?

I keep plastic storage bins (some medium/large size) for each category, i.e. lighting, brakes, suspension, body seals, fuel/carbs, etc. Within each bin I use smaller boxes or zip-locs as appropriate. It's something you have to be kinda anal about from get-go, or chaos can set in and become a permanent resident of your garage!

When I stripped my car last year I put everything in plastic bags by part type and stored them by where they were removed from the car. I could remember what the parts were for, but I couldn't always remember where exactly I took them off the car in the first place.

Do you have a camera? If yes - then click click. Nothing better than a picture of your car.

On all long term disassemblies my friend always starts with a spiral notepad and writes down the dissasembly order of the dash, engine compartment, firewall and so on so nothing would need to come back off to get something back on. My son and I forgot a few things on his super beetle when we were working on the things behind the dash. I'm sure the 914 will be the same way. My uncle was a japanese sword collector and used those blueprint cabinets and at the time when we cleaned his house out I thought they were too big to put in my shop. Now I wish I had found a place for them.
