Easier, yes. Cheaper? Not sure.

To change from the tail-shift to the side-shift setup, you not only need to change the transmission (or modify the tail-shift one), but you also need a complete later gear-shift linkage, including all of the rods and even the gear shift lever itself, plus the motor mount bar and all of the mounting hardware for that bar.

Except he has a factory 6 so the Motor Mount is not an issue!

Jeff, I wrote about my ex 914 (1971 1,7), not 6.

Oh!

I found this number on the side shift transmission in my 6

914.301.101.00

I did not found anything with this code. To what model it belongs?

I think it is for a 1972.

Niklas

Along the top of the transmission stamped into the ridge there should be a number! I remember seeing it I just don't remember what it was except it was not 914/01!

http://harrasteet.1g.fi/kuvat/OmaPossu+II/...27.3.12+011.JPG
Should I solder it or just leave it like that?

How to paint tank, how was it after it left factory?

Naked body

Where is all the rust? Very little rust in this 6-body
Okay some accident repair and welding has to be done!

Is this oiltank copper? What is this paint then? It does not weight as much as copper should.
http://harrasteet.1g.fi/kuvat/OmaPossu+II/...il+tank+028.JPG

That was not so much work on your body.
Looks easy !! 1-2weeks work.
I think you should epoxypaint the body as soon as possible.

The oiltank is cooper coated so it will not rust.
why don't you powdercoat it? Satin black.

Niklas

Its soda blasted so it is not so hurry with painting.

Do I have to take copper away before powdercoating? Its rust free and copper layer is solid. What paint would stay on copper?

No I think you just can paint it.

Just got all four fenders from Restoration Design, sail panel repair piece from 914-teile and shake hands for a deal with Lithuanien restoration shop. Body is going to Riga for straightening and welding and painting

But what is the colour...

I had my oil tank specialty coated with a covering (gloss black) that helps PULL heat out or a distrubtion heat coating. It looked very good and in concept it can't hurt to help pull some degrees out from the oil.
I think the color came out nicely and I'm all for using new technology on these cars that was not around in 1970.
Here is a look (crappy cell pic):

Good Luck!

Interesting coating and looks good! I already painted my tank old way..

Can some body help me to show my repair shop how to make those back and front boot sprayed seam sealings? Need pictures to show! If pictures are from silver -6 cars the better. If you like to help, send pictures to my email, jukkapoh @ gmail.com

Enough fenders?

Damn, deal with Latvian shop went off They drag price up and up..
Back to begining. Motivation do not disappear.

Sorry for that.
It is expensive to do sheetwork on cars in Scandinavia...
The best is to do it yourself:)

Niklas

May be I am waiting for you, Niklas, to do the welding

Sorry but i don't have the time.
I have two 914 and two vw pickups and one beach buggy to get ready
The beach buggy will be ready within a week or so.

Niklas

I made new deal today with local welder/painter
Only problem is that he does not have "celette bench" but I can arrange that elswhere.
It's going to cost little more than in Latvia but...
Relieft!

Do you really need a bench to the body ??
You can cross meausure the body.
Have you measured it ?

What is the cost to fix the body....??

Niklas: I have not measured it properly but drivers side front corner seems to be 3-4cm up. Thats 1,5 inch. After celette bench I am sure its straight!
Maybe Jeff has an opinnion about this?

4k€ for velding and painting in Finland. Cheap in Finland, expensive elswhere..

..btw I bought used whole drivers side inner fender and front trunk floor from Germany. Costs delivered 200€.

Keep up the good work. Hope everything will go fine with the new welder.

double post

4000 Euro for paint and rust fix is very cheap!!!
Normal price for paint a vw bug in my area of sweden is 2000 Euro.
I think you have got a good price!

Niklas

that was very cheap!!!
I payed more for my front trunk floor from Holland.

Niklas

Need pictures under rocker panels. Need to know how this lip and upper part of rocker panel meets. Is this lip straight all the way from back fender to front fender. Are there differences between year models?
