Well it's gotten to be that time finally. I've been collecting parts to do the repair on my 914-6 and now the work starts. The main issue is the hell hole/inner engine long, inner pass long, pass inner rocker panels are rusted out. The last part I was trying to source seams to be NLA. I sourced most of the parts from the good guys at Restoration Design. I received my order today for the last batch of things. Based on a few threads that I've looked over the outer shell to the inner engine long is currently not being made by RD. A few guys have made their own which looks like a real pain in the rear to do. I laid out all the new metal to see how things lined up. By the looks of things it will need some fine tuning to mate things properly. Before I start cutting into the chassis I'll build a few braces to keep things true.

Time for the pics...
