Well this is I guess my start of new progress thread … a slow one…. But progress.
In the beginning, I bought Yellow 1971 914. It looked pretty at 50 feet doing 50. When I took the first test drive, I pulled back in from around the BLOCK and said this car needs to be redone. No sense trying to drive for a summer… Attached image(s)

The brings the question, what's wrong with pop-riveting? It's used on race cars. What's the strength difference between it and spot welding?

if THAT's the worst your DAPO did, you will be a-ok... easy fix, and obvious... it's those hidden, "WTF is that" fixes that are the pain...
