Evening all, right I've put myself forward again for the 2017 challenge not so much to win but I need the push to keep going ! So I hope I'm allowed in to the club again .....

Progress has been painfully slow this summer, kids, house etc etc excuses I know but there true !

I did manage to source a rear corner from main land UK cut from an original UK sold car ... The car was beyond repair but it gave its life to help others .

As can be seen above I'm really happy with my repairs on the front so I'm hopeful the rear goes as well !

I'm thick skinned (I sell John Deere I have to be) so please comment on my project either way .... I did have a sleepless night over the windshield but the following morning realised I have one in the store !

I really want to at least have a painted rolling shell this time round I would like to aim higher but we'll see , build off or not I'll keep going , keep kicking me please it does work .....

This is great for another UK based 914 fan- can't wait to see the dash work when you change it and the 6 hooked up. Keep going it's great!

Well it been a year since we had visitors and I finally managed to get new gates up and to get some work done to the car so its been a good week so far !!

The rear quarter has been more interesting but I think it will turn out well, I split the cut I received earlier and found the expanding foam ! I then cut the car roughly so the work begins (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Lots more to do but I'm on the move again ...... at last !

I like the work your doing so far. Just awesome that your putting it together with parts from across the globe. Here in Southern California I can scrape up about any part I need so I can't imagine what its like. Keep up the great work.

Well, half the family is in Orlando ! So work on the car can resume, it's a right PITA!! Had to rebuild the lower curved section as it was split every which way but welded up and starting to get things in the right place, going to be fun to fit the cut section but I'll trial fit bumper and section tomorrow evening ! Here's hoping...

Quick question, has anybody a good photo of the right hand rear corner from the rear I can use for reference, I could also do with measurements, the height of the lamp hole, thickness of the rib and distance from the base of the rib to the bottom of the rear panel, if somebody could get me these all sort of taken in line with the outer lamp mount I'd be truly grateful !

Another evening of trimming and bashing ! I think it's as good as I'm going to get it now the top of the rubber can be moved up a bit as I tapped the metal downward
, lid fits and the lights all seem to sit correctly ...

Having a cool beer to celebrate ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Did you add a strip to the flare? It looks like it is really far back on the body but I suppose that depends on what brand flares you have.

I think it's an optical illusion, flares were fitted to the car prior to me getting it, possibly fitted by McMark you can see them on the previous pictures at the start of the posts ... there is also part of the original quarter panel on there as well ...

Evening all been welding like a weldy one ! So much so I've run out of mig wire tonight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Well annoyed ! The rear is all fully tacked up and ready for full welding, 4th attempt ! So tonight I started the awkward one cut and cut again to make a RHD dash ...... I want to make it look like the factory might have i.e keeping the glove box and ash tray ... most conversions loose one or other or both ! Well it's top secret ... and very nearly welded together ... reason it's not is listed above (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'll post pics when it's finished as a half done partially welded one won't cut it here ! There's to many awesome fabricators here ...

Here's the final fit of the quarter ...

And yes there is a tiny patch needed but it was the best available here !
