I've concluded that I need to replace significant portions of the lower wheelhouse, inner long, and the suspension console. I've spent the day researching and reading the classic threads and like many of the rack-like assemblies my predecessors have built. Let's hear some easy but still effective ways to get this thing off the ground and straight enough for structural repairs.
I really like the one for "Bringing out your Dead" but can't quite figure out the points it's mounted. After bracing the doors, can I use the front jack points, a long support along the floors, the outer suspension console, and the trans mount area? I ready for some ideas. I'm trying to develop as many COAs (Courses of Action) as possible. Thanks. |

The young lad needs to build a rotisserie I like the Restoration Design 911 one, but how would you tie into the 914?
The engine stands at ends type takes up to much room. On bracing, wouldn't you want to leave the door shells in to check gaps? I don't think his car has front sway bar mounts so what would be a good alternative? Although hopefully not near as involved as the one in the pic below, this is one of the repairs needed. So where would you tie into the rear? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-10428-1435840644.jpg) |

It works great but I have too much junk in my garage which makes getting around it a little difficult. If you use their drawings, be care with the rear mounts. They may have corrected it by now but the drawings I used had the rear mounts show 180 deg off of how they needed to be attached. Nothing a grinder and more welding couldn't fix. |
