Hi 914World,
New(ish) member with new project - a 1975 2.0L. It's certainly a project, but I think it's a great starting place. The seller is extremely knowledgeable about the car and helpful with local contacts who are in the 914 scene. It's been on the local CL for a while for more than I wanted to pay, but was recently able to strike a deal. Here are some specs about the project:
2055cc "build" project in pieces currently (with matching numbers)
Looking forward to this one! |

I was inspired by the octagon / rotisserie that Restoration Design has created in this thread so I decided to go ahead and build one for my project. This will be very helpful when media blasting, epoxy priming, painting, reassembly, etc. All in all, I have around $300 invested including steel, casters, hardware, paint, and some wire / cutting discs.
I had a hard time coming across the CAD plans for this stand but finally found them in the above thread. For anyone looking for these plans... download this PDF of all four images combined together. Here's all of the required metal: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1477884570.1.jpg) Marked up for cuts: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1477884570.2.jpg) Dad helped out with some smart ways to square it all up: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1477884570.3.jpg) Using the bottom hoop as a template for the top: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1477884570.4.jpg) I started to prep the angle iron for the brackets for the 8 connecting bars but that's about where we stopped tonight. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i120.photobucket.com-19557-1477884571.5.jpg) Hopefully we will finish up the stand this week and possibly get the car mounted in the stand this weekend. I may deviate slightly from the RD drawings as I do not want to re-mount my clean, powder-coated suspension crossmember under the car. I will likely use a piece of 1-1/4" square tubing that's left over and extend the height of the front "pick-ups" off of the hoop. If all goes to plan... I'm scheduling a media blaster to come out in two weekends. Would be nice to have everything blasted and epoxy-primed before the holidays. |
