Goober welds... Before I added gas to my mig welder... I have a patch panel for this. I suspect the PO lost a shock or spring. super thin on the back side...

I like it all!!!

Remember to primer them welds!

I have a space saver as well, Why did you put it in the center of the trunk? No room for luggage now, and I know you take trips in your 914..

Whats the details on your 914-8 emblem? Is it machined? Or just the 8 off the 1.8 emblem?

The Luggage will go in my 914 trailer. Spare is in the center because it looks best there. Once I fix the tower metal, I will tie into the trans bracing. I only plan to carry oil, rags and an air pump back there anyway. OK maybe a jack too...

My 914-8 emblem is from Jim (RJMII) He is making me new ones that say 914-1.3 If you want the 914-8, I will give it to you. It's held on with dbl stick tape. It does need a quick sand and new clear coat.

Awesome progress! I feel your pain about having the 914 outside. I have mine double covered after an incident earlier this winter let a lot of water in.

The engine is in there? Let's see some pics from above! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Tossed the bumper on for some quick pics. The old plate holder is shown. The new spring loaded plate holder will hide the receiver hole when not in use...

LOL...whenever you get the empty wallet blues, just think about how much a comparable 300+ HP Porsche -6 powered project could cost you.

Did some more work in the trunk today. Cut out the damaged section on the tower. Cut a patch from the red car in the garage.

Got it trimed and welded. I also welded in some 1.25/.120 tubing to tie the hitch and tranny mouunts together. I also welded the seams of the tranny mounts below.

I beefed up the engine mounts with some 14ga steel. I also seam welded around here and there... Thanks Strawman for the motivation... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
