No ,no, no, the last pic shows the beauty three years ago. The PO did some nice work to hide all the bad things, that you should not see and pay a large ammount for a "superb" car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) .
There are two choices: repair it or abandon it.

guess what i decided (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) and again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Damn, that's awesome! I'm doing the rear trunk first, but i'll be doing the longs before too long. I'll be posting pics of my progress when i get finished...

Anyway, did you keep patterns or anything of the pieces you are making?

Very amazing... Makes me scared to look at mine...

One time, 2 years ago when checking out 914s... I checked out a red '70 in Pomona, the guy wanted $2800 OBO. Had dual webers and barely ran. Point being, the chassis was cut up, welded together (from another car). non of the numbers on the chassis matched. I open the compartment and check "the hell hole" and you could see all the way through the bottom passenger's side fender. Or the "ear" right there. Nothing but large gaping hole i could fit my fist through.

Scary.

You didn't buy that car in the US Midwest and ship it to Deutchland did you? Looks awfully familiar! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

(Supposed to be funny...in a kind of "sad but true" way)

Nice work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

The little princess was original delivered to italy an came back to germany in 2001.
Sorry , no patterns. All pieces are unique. I tried to keep as much good metal as posible. You can see this at the curved cutting.
This was my first work with sheetmetal, and it is not so hard.
I think anybody can do it with a little time and patience.

@ brando: if you are not sure, you should definetly look at these point of your car. Every day you wait, the rust gets worser (hope that is the right spelling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) and the repair is more difficult.

Impressive! With a little more practice (and it looks like you'll be getting some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) you could be a guest fabricator on "Monster Garage" (is that shown over there?)

I have to go to HELL 'n' I'm not sure I have the strength you do. Great work, can't wait to see the flip side of this project.

additional pic from inside of the long. Have to drill a hole for the securitiy belt mounting. The mounting point is in good shape, so i only have to paint it and weld it.
Will keep you informed.
