Here's another good one.

Looks like 3 attempts at getting the spoiler in the right place...and then a tube of silicone was used without ever touching the fiberglass. Kinda like a "reverse moat" around the holes.

The silicone is there to keep water out of the trunk. Ask me how I know?.......

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I can't imagine why some DAPO would do this to a shock.

Just the thought of welding on an oil filled pressure vessel??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I think it is of greater concern to find out what other things a person that would weld a shock might have done to the car. You can at least see this!

I'd imagine that was their way of lowering the back of the car. .

I found out why the 'BB's left headlight didn't stay put very well. This must have happened way out in the boonies, or before the magical world of internet shopping and 914 forums (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Attached Image


This was in the mid section of 'BB' - attached with 26 rivets, for the tail-shift transmission's shift rod (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ... mind you, the 'BB' is a 1975 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

Attached Image


Here's what I found when I removed it

Attached Image


No pix, but it also had late rubber mounts on the engine brackets PLUS early rubber mounts on the outboard ends of the mounting bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)


... and the battery tray. Not shown is the bungee cord that held the battery in place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Attached Image

Oh, and the foil tape hell hole patch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

All of this has been corrected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

More likely to raise it because of the sagging rear springs, nose up attitude..

The 1972 parts car I just cut up. I bought the car from the original owner. He purchased two Porsche badges and then mounted them in the sail panels. I have the paper to prove it. The were held in by wall anchors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

OK, I'll post this. PO used this custom bolt setup to attache the rear fiberglass bumper.

Why not just weld the first bolt to the bracket?
