And then finished up with welding the under side of the tray. Again, having the rotisserie to turn the car upside down made this easier.

Thanks, Tman.

No 914 work today, but when I took my 991 out for a drive before changing the oil, I noticed this view.

I do NOT have a bike problem--maybe a storage problem. Plus S has 4 bikes on the other side of the garage. And we have some bikes stashed at our son's place in Tucson.

I worked on the targa hoop top today, to remove a shallow (max 3/32") dent on the left side. I got out the paintless dent remover kit again. I did about a dozen pulls in different locations.

And so on to the last big chore on the body shell: grinding all the welds that I left behind everywhere.

Bob, I love your thread and use it daily to guide me on parts of my resto. What is your plan after you’re done with all the metal work? Are you going to have the whole tub media blasted and primed before doing finish body work and paint? If you’re planning to send the car out for blasting and prime/paint, will you deliver the car on (or with) the rotisserie? Appreciate any advice you or others have on these questions.

Thanks, Aaron. I have a plan worked out with a local custom body and paint shop. I will finish up the last metal work, and maybe tweak some of the bent panels a bit more. And at that point the shop with take over and do stripping, and final metal work, final prep, primer, and paint. The shop does want to use the rotisserie, as well as a dolly I can borrow from another 914Worlder (thanks, Mike!).

Happy to help get another 914 on the road here in Durango!

Another bit of progress today. This does not look like much, doing some touch-up welding on the engine compartment rubber seal channel. But this is the last welding job on the list!

Simply amazing! That whiteboard is two years of work and you cranked through it without cutting corners in what... 9 months? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Back to the festival of weld grinding. It does make the plug welds a bit less obvious.
