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...

Fender has some pitting but adding flares takes care of that.
Sent you a pm about flares.

Blasted the right NOS long today. Prepping all the metal that's to get welded back on.
Hopefully by the end of next week the right side will be back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thanks Glenn,

Working away here when I can. I have a few section blasted and ready for install.
I want to paint the areas where I will not be able to reach once attached to the chassis.

I have Eastwood internal frame coating cans, and also picked up a few cans of the epoxy paint too. Anyone have an idea which would be best to use? I'd like to save the internal coating cans for those areas I can't reach. Think the epoxy will be ok to help with future rust? Thinking of using the epoxy for the inside of the long and behind the door post.

Any thoughts on this?

I have the chassis scheduled to be blasted at the end of April then right into epoxy a few days later. I have a huge list of things to knock out before the blast date.

The sections from a Cali 914 parts car have arrived. Thanks Vince.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Started to remove any metal I do not need and prep for install.
Got the right inner wheel housing section almost done. I just need to blast it before install.
Next up is the pass foot section and under the fuel tank.

Today we will be working on my brothers 914. Spot welding the rest of the new RD rear panel in along with a new rear trunk pan.

Started cutting and fitting the replacement inner fender section. Also got the right long coated with Eastwood internal frame coating. Man does that stuff make a mess.
I'll see if I can get the new section of metal tacked in on Wed.

Now, if we can get RD to manufacture this section, our life would become instantly easier.

Thanks guys.. It's time consuming getting everything to line up just right.
Putting the panels on, test fit then remove. Got the right patch panel ready but didn't have the time to weld it in. I did work on the front trunk floor damage. Pretty much done but need to confirm it's correct. Anyone got a pic of the section I have circled. Early cars if that matters?

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for posting the pics. Is the section circled flat then has a recess for the spare tire ?
I may have to fine tune the pan a little more.
