I'm trying to think of a way to attach those WITHOUT using wall anchors...and can't think of a way.

That suspension mount is just plain awesome.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Look how weak the mounting point is on the body for that hinge apparatus...how is that even still attached?

20 years from now there will be a thread showing pictures of rusty 914's with dynamat all over them and the comments will be the same...

Just sayin'...


I don't agree. That carpet foam was just a sponge that held water and Mark said the drain holes were plugged. Dynamat doesn't hold any water. Also I think that any 914 that is being restored today will most likely be stored in a garage vs outside in the elements for the last 40 years.

I agree with the second but not with the first. Dynamat will hold water against the metal for sure. Same way the tar did that was originally installed. Wherever there isn't adhesion the water will eventually find it, and once there will like it because there will be no air currents to carry it away. I have used it though.
Somewhere someone had a comment about a sort of heavy silicone floor pad that you didn't really bond down so it could be lifted out for drying. I like the idea but haven't seen the product.

But in 20 Years, most 914s will still be in the Garage on Jackstands! Tough for water to get in there!

So... when you add extra padding to your door panels, you can't get the door to latch past the first latch catch.

When you can't get the latch to latch past the first latch catch you add enough Bondo to the quarter panel to match the current position of the door... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Don't add padding to your door panels.

Not exactly DUMB stuff...but I found some cool stuff.

Picked both of these from underneath the driver-side headlight bucket.

First: Birth control pill holder.

Then: A Styx tape.

Yeah...I'm a lucky SOB.

There is a serial riveter in the 914 World and they must be stopped!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) My car also had several riveted patch panels with nasty tar based undercoating everywhere.

Someone took the time to braze, rivet and glue in galvanized patches on my car. Which I never understood, because it would likely have taken the same amount of time for them to just weld it in correctly. It took me quite a few hours to grind out all of the brazing.

A lot of people cannot gas weld sheet. I know I have to work really hard to get it right. So they braze. If it isn't stressed and looks good I am not so unhappy. Most cars of this era have braze points from the factory for set up.

Ever MIG into a piece of lead work that you didn't notice wasn't steel? Blue flames. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Typical floor repair. Tin panel riveted in with fiberglass overlay and door hinge mounted on gas pedal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Also what do you do when the plastic slider in your door handle is broken???? yep use a small ty-wrap to keep the "good half" in place. Still doesn't work, but what the heck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

No, but I've had the reverse happen. I was gas welding a crack up on my Ghia's driver door during resto when the area 4" above began to liquify. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Factory lead lay up.

I encountered one yesterday, car came in for F. end service. Didnt get a pic but it was a mess.
SOMEONE decided that it would be great idea if they install Zerke grease fittings smack in the middle of the A-arm tubes...stock bushings, they just FILLED the arms entirely with grease !! Presumedly was to stop the T-bar grinding noise from the sacked rear bushes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
