Perfect! Adriatic Blue is one of my favorite colors - it will look terrific. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Tell me about your wheel and tire set up with stock fenders: looks like you have 6x16 front and 7x16 rear. What size tires are you running? Good luck with your project and lets see some progress pics.

Yes they are 6x16's & 7x16's I have 205's mounted on them. I'm still playing around with the ride height. It might be a little to low right now

The body work has finally begun. In addition to the gaping hole the whole front end was tweaked as well

Excellent. I look forward to seeing the color on that car. Adriatic Blue looks outstanding on our cars. One of my favorite colors.

Dave, will it be ready for the August Woodward Dream Cruise event?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
A few 914er's are putting together a date to gather 914's along Woodward (Tues-Wed-Thurs or Fri)?? Not set date yet.
I still haven't got mine out of storage yet. I need a new battery, insurance and time to tune it up. It's been a busy year, but hopefully I'll be there.
BTW: Love the color, one of my favorites. Bright color so you don't need a horn. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
