OK, here we are almost two years later, and the car is in the shop for the body and paint work. Found a guy willing to do the detail body work - metal reshaping and almost no body filler. Here's the first few shots.

A lot of time has been spent with the hood. It was very wavy at the leading edge and so far this is what it looks like two days later.

The doors will also require a lot of work. More pictures to follow tomorrow.

Yes, the rotissiere is another of the fine products and contributions to my efforts thanks to Chris Foley & Tangerine Racing. Once I'm done with my car it will be available to other 914 owners here in Massachusetts for their projects and then I guess I might sell it.

Car matches color of the house. You may have just given someone here on the board another idea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Well, it used to match. Going to be Lapis Blue metallic when we are done. Yeah, I know - Yellow is faster, but, one, it was not the original color and two, I think 914s in dark blue look super!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

William, glad to see things are taking off again. Looks like everyone that has contributed their efforts on your car have done a tremendous job. Can't wait for mine to reach at least that stage. And yeah Chris is the man (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

So, I walked around the shop and took more pictures today. I really appreciate the attention to detail - like adding back in the seam sealer that I stripped off in the hunt for hidden rust. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Believe me a lot of metal work went into that front valance - it was wavy and bent up like any 30 year old piece of metal hanging down there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

The owner is a perfectionist, he wants me to bring the rear bumper over tomorrow so he can shape the back under the deck lid - yeah it was bumped. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif)
