That guy trapped in there is my friend Sean, he is a professional welder, and is helping me with my rust issues.

We have all the panels tacked in, and in a couple weeks we are transporting to his shop so he can TIG everything nice and clean.

All the injectors are yellow, but when i painted the metal portion when i was cleaning the motor i might have missed a spot when masking and got some black paint possibly maybe.

I never even thought to look at the mileage, my guess is 100,000+, this car was my dads daily commuter until he parked it in the garage sometime in the 1990's.

He must be a really good friend because that is a 914. If you're quiet you can hear it rust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Good luck with a really good looking car!

After blasting i'll seam seal and paint engine bay.

First...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

Second...all that time and effort and history, it seems a shame to then sell it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Third.....let us know what the VIN is so we can add it to our data base

Fourth...nice going so far on your refurbishment
