Looks like a nice car. You know, all of those previous repairs got the car to this point. It probably would not have survived without them. I wonder if kink is caused by the chassis flexing. This is one of the areas that is reinforced on the GT cars. I have seen them crack near that spot.

Hello Charlie,

I know on guy which owns an original 914-6 GT, I have seen the added stiffening metal in the front/back. Also all of this changes are very detailed described in the original documentation which was needed for racing. However the force which is needed to kink the body in this area can only happen when the suspension/ spring can not move any more...
I have no clue if this can happen by using normal suspension setup.

I continued working on my 914-6. The next step was cleaning and removing the flour panel. This is the 1st time I'm doing this and therefore I spend some hours.
I added some pictures to hear what 914 enthusiasts are saying .

It looks like the body of my car is now ready for the paint job. After spending ancountable hours of body work I'm proud to show you how is solved all the body work issues.
The decision to rent the car bench from the germany 914-6 club was one of the best decisions I made. I learned a lot about body work and bought many tools to work like a car shop however it wasn't a simple job. After all my experiences I thing a 914 body is hard to repair!

But now I'm glad to present the result.Attached Image
