Can someone point me to a thread that shows repairing the pedal box area? Finally pulled my 914 out of storage where its been for the last 10+ years to start the repairs that made me put it away all those years ago! I'm 47 now and have owned this car since I was bitten by the bug at 13! Time to get her back on the road! Still got all the other typical southern rust to take care of. Passenger long, lower firewall, rear trunk area, drivers jack post area, etc., etc, etc, This site and its members are truly inspirational and in invaluable wealth of experience and knowledge!
Thanks, Blair |

I suffer the same fate in my silver car - rest of the floor is solid thankfully. Agree, I haven't found an aftermarket panel, so it took a while, but was able to get the panel cut from a parts car thanks to a fellow World member. Now to do the work...
Also, give Restoration Design a call. I had talked to them one time about this, and though they don't make the panel, they offered to look for a parts car to cut one from. Plus, if enough people inquire, perhaps they'll start manufacturing them... |

Good idea about calling Restoration Design, as well, either for donor or for a fabbed piece. I think I recall a few months ago that they were planning on adding more metal pieces to their catalog. |

We still need to do the work, on our schedule for this summer once it gets hot and humid and don't won't to drive the teener... Nice write up by the way, thanks for sharing. |
