So after a couple of weeks hiatus, I am at least back to some small efforts to move the job along. My local Porsche shop was willing to help me sand blast all of the suspension parts (and complete the disassembly). Well, here's what the bits and pieces look like after 23 hours in the blasting chamber (small parts blaster).

Remember, these parts were so grimy and basically coated in road grime and gunk. I think they cleaned up real good. The plan now is to tape up the bearing surfaces and take them all to the local powder coater. Will powder coat them gloss black.

My plan is to paint the underside of the car, no undercoating and a finely detailed and renewed suspension. I have also decided to go with Chris Foley's exhaust system and I am talking to Jake Raby about motor build using the new Kit Carlson system.

By the way, I should be posting pictures soon of a one owner 1970 914-6 that has recently come up for sale. I have been trying to run down this guy for a couple of weeks now.

Final note: my 914 enabler, partsman (parts manager at local Porsche dealer) was able to locate and obtain the last three trim tags (part PCG 701 105 00) in Germany. Well, they are in his possession now. One is mine, since I am doing a color change, I will stamp the tag with the new paint code. Two will be for sale. Interested? Excuse the bad photo, hard to get close up on such a small piece. These are blank.

I guess not, well you know what this is, the tag/plate inside the door jam at the front, has the body number and paint code. Needed for that Porsche Parade restoration candidate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I had to fly them out of Germany, so I will seel them for the abosolute cost to me: They had a list of $38.00 when they were available, when you factor in the cost of the Porsche air freight, they come in at $50. I know this might seem steep, but you'll NEVER see them new again. If either korijo or jandro62 are still interested, just pm me. Sorry the price is what it is, but I've got to cover the cost at least.

Great job cleaning the car up!

I have recently gone through a lot of this and can not imagine being able to do this level of clean-up/prep with out using a rotisserie. Soooo nice to be able to rotate the car into a position that allows access to the area being worked! The rotisserie also allowed the painter to do a great job of getting the paint in some otherwise very hard to get to places.

You're on the way to having one great 914!!!

Someone asked earlier in this post if there was a rotisserie in Southern Ohio available to use. I'm located in Nashville, IN - about 2 hours west of Cincinnati. I have a rotisserie available for use. Anyone in this area - let me know if you want use it.

Thanks for the kind words Doug. Like you, when my job is finished I will make the rotissiere available for other club members to use. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

How did you go about getting the car to the stripper while on the rotisserie?

Did you just pull it up on an open trailer?

Dropped the car down on to a body dolly and then when delivered, used lift to reinstall. Don't think a car can be moved while still on rotissiere.
