Love spot welders Yes, worth the investment. I think of all the plug welds I didn't have to grind and how fast and easy the spot welder is. Where did you get that set of wide arms? I have the same spot welder but I have two arms like your lower arm. These arms were with it when I bought it. I've seen used ones on ebay and craigslist. I've been looking for a longer set. |

So, this is Jim's car, and then you dig into your /6? Or, are you doing them both at the same time?

This is pretty self-explanatory but this was an easy way to use tape to locate and transfer the holes into the new piece. The holes were in the outer long but covered with the sill plate (once sill plate was placed) so I used tape to map their location and pulled it back, welded then laid the tape back over to give me the location to drill the hole in the new piece.

I'm sure Sir Jim can't wait to see his 914-6 restoration finish! Although he is driving another white 914-6 for now. Thanks for the update of the restoration Kent! And next time your own /6 will be next. But can you make another restoration thread for your car?
