last post one month ago, thought maybe if it were easier to find, we might get some updated pics on your progress, Scotty ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I know you have like 4 projects going on right now at the same time,-
Amazing how much hidden rust these have, makes me think there is no such thing as a rust free 914

looking forward to the rest.

I guess I should have ground the mud off of the trunk before I welded the holes shut (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Metal work is all done and I have gotten a good start on the body work. gave the heat shield a quick wire brush, ospho and high tempp black before welding it back in. I'm planning on getting the engine bay painted next week and finishing up the body work.

What you see is a 3M sprayable seam sealer that uses a special gun to duplicate factory ribbons and spray patterns, but on jobs that aren't to be " perfect " it works well in a caulk gun and just brush it over the cracks. Even when I spray it, I make my first coat a brush on like this so I know it has gotten into the seam, not just layed overtop of it.

This is just one of the problems I have noticed on these cars over the years. the factories ( Porsche and Karmann ) used good quality seam sealer, BUT they sprayed it on very heavy, and due to it's thickness it never flowed into the cracks between panels. This left a void that water could get into if the seam sealer was ever damaged. By brushing the first layer in, I can cram it into the crack, and also make certain I have a good complete bond over the joints without any voids. On a show type job, I would then go over this brushed on coat with the spray gun just to get the proper factory look

Got some color started yesterday. Given the condition of Bills rear lid, we dicided to swap it out for a good one I have in my stash. Engine bay and rear trunk will be done by mid week. Hoping to get the whole car shot by the ECC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Nice work Scotty.

What do you use to cut out the bad sections ? They're so square. And you don't seem to disturb the rest of the panel much.

Damn....I am dying to see my chassis blasted so I can see the rust work begin. Very nice work and Scott's description of the seam sealer first being brushed on to get into the cracks is exactly the kind of attention to detail I like and why my car is at Scott's.
