William, how did you strip your car to metal? By hand, sandblast, or acid?

The front suspension is basically finished. Richard at Autobahn Performance is doing a fantastic job. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Hard brake lines are in front and rear. Tomorrow should see most of the rear suspension in place. Maybe back on the ground by Friday. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

People come into the shop and look at my car upside down and ask: what kind of car is that? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Great project, what is the plan for the car as far as usage?
Also why have you waited to paint the rest of the body? Again, Great looking 914. I am working on mine, just not as far along. You are covering some of the points I have been thinking about with your posts, thanks for the help. |

Paint shop in next door. Jim at A Tech Professional Auto Body wanted the car to be a roller to paint the rest of the car. Made the painting easier for him. This way, nothing was painted that should not have been painted. My goal was to make it look like it came from the factory. Only we know better. Useage? Drive the hell out of it!!!

Thanks Greg, your steel outer rocker covers will hopefully be one of the last items buttoned up next week. I need to e-mail you, or call, about various installation kits to replace the bolts, rubber donuts, etc. for front and rear valance panels, etc. Thanks for shipping so promptly, the painted pieces were shown a few pages back.

Glad I could assist in some small way, but you're the one who deserves the thanks for doing a real restoration. I can't wait to see the finished product.

My goal is to be driving this summer. That depends on the engine build, tranny refurb and then the interior work. I plan on completely restoring the interior, but I may put that off until the winter and just drive it as is. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
