Right got the thing stripped now, and it has gone off to the bodyshop, wish I had the skills to weld decently, needless to say my body man is worried. Also not the last picture of it being transported down to the man, lots of people looking at what it is..

My 75 has what appears to be a heat shield under the boot (trunk) at the rear. is this necessary or was this a catalyst thing, it will not have a cat so wondering if I can take this rusty heat shield off.

I would leave it on but that is me. Others have eliminated it.

I couldn't help but notice that everyone is on the wrong side of the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Is your car right hand drive?

Nope its left hand drive only about a dozen or so were converted by Crayford to RHD. Who says we are are on the wrong side of the road, probably explains why you have so many accidents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Hey Mark,

I bought my 914 when I was living inChicago from a guy called Jay Mikesell from Prterks, do you know him? I am also trying to find a guy called George Hildinger who used to workon914's do you know of him?

Left side of the road is way better. Add in roundabouts and it all works perfectly. The Brits got that part "right".

Now if they could just put one faucet on their sinks instead of two the place wouldn't be so bad.

You have to get that car on the road. I remember seeing new cars that looked worse than that on the road. I don't think I ever saw a 914 when I lived there.

We don't have any faucets anywhere - we have taps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Some progress, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) bodyman decided to drill out the spot welds and do it that way, now I am scared. Need some advice, since it is going to have a lot of work doen it will never be a resto, so do I go out all the way and go five stud, chrome bumpers and flares and five stud or leave it stock . I would like to leave it yellow but maybe Porsche Speed Yellow Ideas?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
