I got the rear trunk lid all blocked out and smooth as a babies bottom. All that is left on it is several primings and wet blockings. Got started on the roof panel. Before Pat has a heart attack, this top was one I had that a tree limb went through so it would have needed more work than was feasible for a stock car. Mike wanted it smoothed and painted body color so out came the sander. Also got the bumper to body matched up and since these pics that edge has a smooth transition and is ready to do final body work on. hung the doors and have a little massaging to do at the bottoms where they meet the body.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Also marked and started cutting the holes for the oil tank before I left on friday.

The bus is using a chevy trans so no need there. Also, I already have one for later experiments (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) good looking out, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

Must be something about this color on a 914 that attracts stuff to hit them!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-3419-1236211411.jpg) . Here's mine - same color - hit by a sorority ditz in a UCLA parking structure & pushed front into wall during my MBA days back in 5/85! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) BTW - I painted it that color in 5/80 as "tarmac camouflage" when my point count reached 1 short of loss of license time - how about you Doc?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have no idea why this post suddenly jumped up on my forum subscription, but looking at the "new" shell/roller Scotty started with for the transplant - it's the PERFECT illustration of why one should know thy limits, when it comes to body work! If you want it done right the first time, and aren't a true expert in this stuff yourself, then you're far better off having someone like Scotty do it for you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I've taken a fair bit of flak on here in my "how to approach my resto" type posts, from other so-called 914-xperts about why I'd send mine to a body shop - am I crazy, etc. - when I want it right & without the 500 lbs of extra bondo that I'm sure I'd end up with - along with crappy joints & welds etc. - if I were to attempt it myself. With 1/4" - 1/2" thick piles of crap filler that Scotty has scraped off this tub, it should be a lesson to all. Plus - if you're not cuttin' the checks, don't disparage the one who is! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Oh - Doc, Zach, RobW & several others have noted here about trying to do this 914 stuff while you're in med/grad school, raising families, etc. - S**T - I don't know how the hell you do it boyz!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) My solution was simple - put it in the garage on blocks for 24+ years while I finished my MBA, ran my biz, got remarried & raised a family, then do it when I've got more time & bucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) AWSOME work Scotty!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .... wish you were here in SoCal! Tom T Orange CA early-73 914-2.0 - the others are cool classics, but this is the one that counts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) /////// |

PS - if it's not too late, do some Tangerine SS tunnel fuels lines, so you don't flame Scotty's hard work! I recall reading in an earlier post that the one's in your wreck broke & flamed when he was welding/cutting on it in his shop.
.... good lesson of why to change now IMHO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Mine were/are SS. I make my own for about $30 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The issue with the crash was that the fire folks could not find them.

Got some time in last week. Not a whole lot worth taking pics of. Spent a lot of time going over the body cleaning up edges, wheel wells, and pinholes in the filler. still fucking with the bumpers, roof is flat and ready for primer, and got the mirrors and rear reflector mounted.
Mike please do everyone a favor and tell them who NOT to buy bumpers from (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Attached image(s) |

We are still working on the color. I want a dark gray/gunmetal/with some black/and silver all mixed together. Easy, right?

I know I'll get an ass whooping for this question, but I honestly gotta know...why spend the inordinate amount of time, and money to restore something this far gone, when there are many better examples out there that require far less in both time and money. I love 914s, more than almost any other car...certainly more than any car in it's value range, but I don't get it. Again...not being critical...just wondering the rationale. If it were a Bugatti Atlantic...

You live in MD and you think this car is too far gone to save? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The body was far better than anything I found in months of searching in the East. After living here for a few years, it is still far better than most examples. It has not taken more work than it should, I am having lots of stuff done to it and Scotty is using it as a platform to demonstrate some of his skills (lucky me!).
What exactly about this car makes you think that it was not worth using? It was free, pretty rust free, and would not have required much to bring to stock if that were the way we were going. I would rather modify a car that is not perfect than to find a better one that is stock and mess with it. |

I think that Ken thinks that this is the car you nudged with a telephone pole.
It isn't. parts were taken from the horseshoe car and moved over to the body doner. Zach |
