First off, some info. 1970 914-6 Chassis. Acid dipped. Left outside last winter (not by me). Getting a 993 non-VarioRam 3.6, Wevo 915, GT Flares, all the fun bits.
And the first order of business is sorting out the chassis. Starting with the rear trunk. These are some freaky looking reinforcement plates poorly welded in. I'm guessing they were for a rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pinch.gif) Attached image(s)
