Your car has great potential but needs much care.
Where is that floor from ?
It is advisable to stabilize the door openings (and more) before doing the substantial
welding necessary...... to avoid disappointing results.
Bon chance.

I hope that I have done things good.

This is the first time that I restore a 914.
I don't know if the floor is unusual.


it seems that it fits well.

Looks right now.
The other picture was from an odd angle I guess.
You do fast work.

farken hell.

my hats off. thats a shit load of rust.

i don't think that car spent its entire life in a french colonial outpost in africa?
its full of dirty french salt euro corrosion?
but you know, our american friends just rip into it with their rusted out east coast "barn finds". aussies would pooh their pants confronted with that.

love the way you are just going for it. its going to work or it won't.

good luck and what a car you will have if you can keep it all straight and aligned after you tear its guts out. i am sure you can do it. i mean that. i want you to pull it off.

thank You Wonkipop.

I found the car in the north of Algeria unfortunately the humidity is too high.
it had 2 owners. the second one has not used it for more than 20 years.

With no door bracing from what I can see, what are you doing to prevent twisting while welding?
