You are the man for the info on who does good work in the L.A. area. Very good information to have and share. Who did your bumpers around here? Thanks, Bob B Truth be known, my body shop is bringing them down to Mexico to do them the Old Fashioned Way! I told them that I'd be better off not knowing that parts of my car will be leaving the country. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Very flattering and kind of you to say. However, the plan right now is getting it finished and enjoying it as the super clean & proper running classic 914 that I envision it to be. You are very inspring as I chase the same goal. Keep 'em coming! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Actually, its your build that is inspiring as your car needs significantly more time and attention to bring it back. The awesome thing is that you can do the work yourself. I'm just the general contractor on my project with minor cleaning and reassembly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Great restoration project, so glad to see people go the extra mile to make up for the slackers and hacks such as myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for the encouragement, My motivation is that I never want to tear it apart again so might as well do it right. So far I have been very fortunate to source the Genuine Parts required especially for the engine and transmission build among others.
For the rest, there is 914Rubber so there is no compromise with this car. If it wasn't a '73 2.0 there is no way I would undertake such a project. |

As another Marathon Blue car owner, I am thoroughly enjoying your restoration. Thanks for all the pictures.
Which paint manufacturer had the best color match? I painted the interior and front trunk of my car years ago, but the color wasn't exact. The original had some gold tones that weren't in the new paint. That paint came from NAPA. |

The spray out from NAPA had too much silver and not enough blue. I can not recall the paint manufacturer of the spray out that was approved, but can update you on Tuesday as I will be out at the shop to check in. The front pan and hell hole weld repairs have been completed and blocking begins next week. |

Lock cylinders have been cleaned and several new tumblers added to replace the worn ones. Now paired with a new and shiny set of door handles.

Body work is progressing slowly with the Holidays taking up a big chunk of time and now the push is on for completion of prep and hope to get the car into the booth within 3 weeks.
Donor Front trunk pan has been welded in and just needs some prepping and seam sealer.... BEFORE PICS ![]() ![]() AFTER PICS ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Both Lids & Doors are in the booth and ready to be installed on the car for blocking. Fluorescent lighting is harsh as evidenced by the color difference in the photos.
