looks like a pretty decent six, other than needing a hip replacement....was it yellow then green now red ???
the inner long, in Germany looks to be perfect compared to the RD one..the bottom flange even has the correct stamped impressions...here is a link;

Yes it was yellow, and after restoration it will be again yellow.
The inner long from Germany is really expensive the part from RD I already have. But you are right, German Part is really detailed made.

After viewing the photos that car is not bad just poorly repaired. I noticed the section on the right where the door threshold sill meets the quarter panel is intact. That's good, these often get rust damage. It's a tricky little transition from the sill to the quarter panel.

Hell hole looks like surface rust for the most part. Both trunks look good.


The chassis jig will work out well. Does it extend back as far as the transaxle mounts? Get the car set up and let's analyze it. You may want to see if you can get a couple cheap laser pointers. you can attach one of those bubble levels the contractors use on string lines and make a cheap laser dimensioning tool.

One of the worst jobs is going to be removing that spray can undercoating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Yeah, that Six does not look bad at all. But until you remove all the sound deadening from the chassis to see what it really looks like, we are just guessing. But the car really does look like a great starting point. The engine and transaxle look nicely done too. We will be watching this thread as your Six progresses through the chassis restoration.

This is the part that you want to do the repair with. I'm in the same place as you on a repair to my 6. I also have the RD parts on hand but after taking a long hard look at things want the org parts for my repair. I even emailed the above company to see if they would ship to the US. At first their ad said they would ship to the US but now it's " may not ship to US". They did get back to me with a shipping cost of 100 Euro's plus whatever other fee's are involved. I get the feeling they do not want to ship to the US for whatever reason. If you need a replacement long for the drivers side I believe RD now carries a copy of the org part. I've searched for a while now looking for some oem panels and did locate some for my repair. There's a few items still on my list with the factory right long being one of them. Best of luck on locating the parts you may need. Another way is to buy a usable parts car to harvest the metal from.

BTW take lots of measurements prior to cutting and welding the car back up.
I've started making a custom chassis brace for my car. This should keep things inline when welding it back together.

Hello Luke,
I already bought so many parts from US and I'm happy to see that people in US friendly and willing to sell to Austria.
The shipping fees are sometimes really high and the customs... yes if it is not a gift and the price+ shipping fees > 100Euro I have to pay charges.

However, currently I'm looking for the rubber parts attached on the rear/front pumpers. I asked companies in US, they offer cheaper.

Tell me if the German company doesn't won't to ship to you, maybe I can help. You also will get this athttp://www.mittelmotor.de/content/news/activenews_view.asp?articleID=48 329Euro they are asking for cheaper then the offer on Ebay!!! And they ship to US as well.

We need Pete to get a shipment from Mittlemotor so we don't have to pay that shipping per piece. Those are the parts I would use for a 914-6. Maybe cost prohibitive for the 4's but with prices rising... maybe not.

These Parts are on the market since 2..3 years, the price was much higher, as far as I remeber about 1200Euro per pice. Now it is okay at least for 914-6 restoration. I will sell the pice from RD and will order from Mittelmotor.

If you order in Germany you must also pay additional fees( custome) ore how is this in US?

The sheet metall I already have for my car and my 2nd 914-4 2.0
