Great progress Bob. I like your resourcefulness when needing a tool or part. Momentum must be maintained and can be your best friend at times. BTW, received the front trunk metal piece. Thx again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Yeah, momentum and not knowing any better sometimes.

Glad the panel section will help.

I spent some quality time with the blower housing and the parts washer today. Most of the dirt and grease came off, but not the lovely red paint.

My son came back to our place again, and I put him to work on the TIG welder. Here's the 914 half-case bracket tacked together.

I also had time to run all the engine sheet metal through the solvent washer. Most of the pieces look very good, with some work to do on the big upper pieces.

I stopped by the body shop today to check on progress. They completed a bit more metal work and welding, and have moved onto filler and smoothing.

It is nice to see that the body shop is progressing!

Can't wait to see it with color on it.

See you Tuesday!

Back at home, I tried some paint remover on the blower housing.

Most of the paint came off the inner half, but not so much on the outer half. It might have had more paint, so I will try again.

The upper pieces all needed a bit of metal work.

The upper right piece had some half-ass brazing done, which did not cover all the cracks. Next step will be grinding off the brazing.

Back to work on the sheet metal today. Step 1 was grinding off all the brass brazing.
