Hello 914 world! Ive been lazily lurking here for way too long and finally decided
to change that tonight. So heres my 1st contribution to all this 914 awesomeness.
This is my 914 back in 2010 when I started the rust repair. I'm almost done with
rust repair now and I have lots of pics but I have to resize and post latter. It seems like these pics are gonna work even though they are big so I guess we'll see what happens.

Looks like you have it braced thru the doors and across the width. Are you putting it on a rotisserie?

How do you have your car supported in the back?

Good luck with the rustoration.

As others said, get some real jackstands under the car. Your blocks may work well but having redundant supports are a good thing.

Hey guys I appreciate all of y'alls concern about my "jackstands" but the car is rocksolid. And no jackstands that I know of will go as high as I have the car. Plus the foot print of my stands are are aprox 2' sq. The front is 2 x 4 cribbing and under the back is 24" pipe w aprox .75" wall w a frame I made that bolts to the trans mounts. Now gettin it up there was very sketchy and hopefully in 2 to 4 wks its coming down but I've had it up there for 2 yrs of beatin and bangin and welding.
Also as soon as I reduce the size of my pics I'll post alot more because I finished the metalwork this past weekend and all the structural rust is long gone.
So I guess this means nobody wants to come hang out under it w me?

Rust wise that car really isn't too bad imo. Nice job taking out the spotwelds. Did you use a spotweld removal bit or just a drill?

The supsension console did'nt look to bad, not sure if I would have cut that out.

Keep up the good work.

Hey Michael I just use a drill I do own a spot weld cutter but I always go for the drill.
And yea the suspention console needed work not to mention everything it mounted to had to go. Also I see your from gville sc thats my hometown. Anyway heres more pics of the bad from around sept oct 2010. And I haven't resized yet but I guess that doesn't really matter other than I can only fit 2 per post. What do you guys use to resize pics?

So I think I've posted enough doom and gloom rust pics from 2010, I think its time for a ray of hope. Jumping ahead to May of 2011 some repair wok done. I can't find (or didn't take) pics of pass long and wheel house goin in. But if its more rust you want wait till we get to the drivers side. More on that latter.

Great job! You're taking on quite the project there, you're way more ambitious and talented then I am, to me that would have been a parts car.

Good for you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
