However, in talking about the front of the car, it was decided that the front panel on the car needs to be replaced to make the front end correct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) As you can imagine, this was disappointing to me since it was already replaced a few years ago. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) But, in the end, it will be cheaper and easier to get the front end panels correct this way. I have posted a WTB and am once again chasing down an early nose panel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)



Might want to look at the auction MDShantz is having....might be a front clip in there

Or this one: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=317488

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. That is how a car is supposed to be prepared when it is a full media blasted restoration. Great work Kent. Have some cheesy-bread on me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Now I can't wait for December. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Hi Steve - I believe I have sourced an early nose, the whole front panel behind the bumper. Should something happen I will reach out.

At first glance I thought a PO had drilled right through the nut plate for the mirror mount. Lookin closer, I saw that they had drilled two holes just off to the side of the nut plate. I welded up the holes then located and drilled holes to reveal the threads in the nut plate.

I showed how I locate and drill the holes for the mirror in Jims thread but I figured I show it in Mikes thread also.

I sprayed some black paint on the area.

Lathed a point on a bolt.

Screwed it in to the nut plate from inside of the door till it made a point in the metal.

Slightly sanded the area to reveal the mark then removed the bolt.

Used a punch to mark a guide for the drill.

Drilled a small hole.

Screwed a bolt in from the back to use as a stop so the threads don't get damaged.

Used a larger drill bit to open the hole to the correct size.

In the second pic you can see the bolt in the left hole that is used as a stop for the drill so that the threads don't get damaged.

Hi Kent - Thanks for the hard work and photos showing it all. I believe you will have a nice nose panel pretty soon.

I have said it before but it never hurts to hear it again. When doing a full restoration or resto-mod (since my car is getting an '87 3.2 and a couple other minor changes) on these cars, or any other type of work, documentation is what wins the day and maintains value.

If one were to ever sell a car claiming it was a bare metal restoration, and they did not have the photos, sorry- you lose. I have seen to many threads claiming bare metal restorations and then you see the pics and the cars were only partially stripped.

The same goes for rebuilt engines, pictures and receipts are needed or it is a core engine or running engine with no history and valued accordingly.

When our cars were inexpensive, who really cared? But now that any clean 914 is bringing $25K or more and Sixes are hitting the $100K mark, people expect to see the paperwork. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Cary - But the credit goes to Kent. He alone is taking care of this chassis to make it like new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
