QUOTE(falcor75 @ Feb 28 2016, 01:50 AM)  Glad to see someone else giving the cookies some love. I had mine plastidipped to a twotone gold/silver combo but I might actually make it permanent with paint. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They've grown on me. I wasn't a fan for a long time, but it seems something has changed my opinion in recent years. |

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Feb 4 2014, 11:34 AM) There is a new inner long for the right and left being made in Germany that appears to have more of the factory details formed into it. maybe even OG dies ? HESS , is a VW parts supplier To answer Ricks question & for completeness Patrik Hess in Germany carries them. eBay is more expensive than his direct shop. I've just ordered a few bits from him so let's see what happens in the next few weeks http://914er-shop.de/en/index.php?coID=5&a...mp;mobile=false http://www.914er-teile.de/en/index.php http://stores.ebay.com/der914erteilelieferant/ |

Ben's thread "Am I losing my mind" thread prompted me to bump his build thread. Anyone thinking about trying to talk him out of this car needs to know how special it is. Enjoy the read.

Time to bump this for Ben. His car is back for another little tweak. This time it is the rear trunk pan. I am just doing the minimum repair. The car is really nice. However there were a couple things I couldn't leave though. At some point there was some black petroleum based under coating sprayed over the factory rubber under coating. I am not sure any of you had to try to remove this stuff but it does not come off easy. I ended up using a spray can paint stripper, Heavy grease and oil cleaner, Brass brushes, plastic brushes. dish soap and a crap load of time.
    More to come as I get closer to tig and spot weld the rear pan back in. |
