finally starting the restoration of my 1972 barnfind 1.7l adriatic blue 914. the car has been off the road since 1988 and seemed well cared for before being put up. the rust did not seem too bad. it turns out that it is rusted worse than i thought, very fixable just more than i hoped. also the front right was sectioned as well. the car ran well and drove fine before i started the rust abatement.

Be sure to check out John (Fourblades) thread. His car is mostly made of welds and his side yard is fertilized with rust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
Oh, and his car now looks great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Good luck! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Good luck! Ha ha, that is so true! Your car looks very fixable. Mine was truly a flintstone mobile where your feet could touch the ground. Joe at Series9 is nearly done with my Electromotive EFI conversion so it will be a fearsome four cylinder soon. John |

Best of luck with that. Glad to see another being saved.
Barn finds are generally very cool. |

hey hey,
Progress is looking fantastic and the rust looks identical to mine. I am planning on cutting in the exact same location. I have fiberglass fender flares and trying to not cut into them. I assume I just keep the piece that I cut out and reweld back in once I get the rust remediated. I am going to be visiting your thread as I start cutting into my rust here shortly. Keep it up! -Brett Attached image(s) |
