Yes, good find for sure.

Removing the long.

Kent you are kicking some major ass! I'm always excited to see any new work/pictures. We (you), will be color sanding in no time. Thanks for your attention to detail, and your motivation for this project. You're my boy! Andy too.

914/6 long was from Bruce Stone's stash. He has been a good source for us. Thanks Mr. Bruce

That's a damn sexy build...

More progress pics. Drivers inner long set in place.

Been trimming the edges on the car and the front corner clip, I'll be setting it in place soon.

Front corner section.

Scrap pile.

Thanks Cpt.

Jim bought another parts car this weekend so we'll get the nose panel and rear tail panel that we needed. It also gives him the early suspention parts and other things that will be used.

I love seeing the work that goes into these cars to bring them back. Nice pictures.

Nice work!
remember the Front Cross Panel changed over the production of the 914, I posted a thread with pictures.

The last thing I want to do is put a part on that has a small (or large) variation, so any info. helps, Thanks. We were just texting pics back and forth yesterday as Jim was looking at the parts car that he was considering buying and trying to make sure that the nose was correct (it's a 71 and looks to be original). I had Andy send me a pic of his and it seems to be correct but I'll know for sure once I inspect it. The nose on the 6 had been changed by a PO so I can't exactly trust what's there. It's interesting what differences I find on the donor car and the 6 as well as my 72. I've removed the inner support at the base of the windshield surround on the donor which is a 73 and also found differences in the headlight bucket as well as where the fuel lines pass through the bulk head (though I'm not using that area) and where the wire runs through the tunnel. I don't want to miss anything. Thanks again.

If you have any question about what goes on a 6 let me know, I have eight of them for reference.

Kent's killing it!!

I was at the shop looking it over and Jim and I will be gutting the 70 parts car and breaking out the The drivers rear swing arm was replaced with a late arm and the rack had been welded in a few areas from it's crushing so just a few of the things on this parts car going on the -6

Great, thanks.

If you need a steering rack let me know I have a few laying around

I got the front corner section in place this weekend, looks good, now I will send it out for media blasting.

Jim bought another parts car last week. I went out to his place on Sunday and checked it out. Nice find, he'll get a lot of good usable parts off of this car.

When this much care goes into taking these cars apart and repairing any prior issues I would have no concerns about this cars value. This car will leave the shop in better shape than it left the factory. Straighter and truer for sure. Excellent job guys.

Very nice work!

drilling out all those spot welds is ...I have no words..

With Andy 1/2 way home with the next 6 you need to get back on this one.

Great Job

I'm not driving my /4 anywhere near that shop, it may never make it out alive.

Those darn /6 cars are cannibals.

Some must die so others may live .

Amazing job!

That is taking it "All the way" Stoked to see those pics.
Shows me that NO SIX is Dead...Unless we give up on them.
Looking forward to picking one up soon.

So far, in regards to this restoration, some 914's gave some and two 914's gave all. As opposed to doing a VIN switch, we are in essence building a 914 around a VIN number. As such, the restoration checklist goes something like this; refinance the house, check, spend the kid's education money, check, hide large amounts of money from the wife, check and check. It appears we have a go!

I'm surprised the new rear inner suspension pick-up is not drilled .
With all this unbelievable work you don't even get that as a given reference.
But I have no doubts.
Great work !

Thanks for all the cool coments, I havn't posted any pics for a while, I figured looking at pics of spotwelds being drilled out would get old...but it doesn't, so here's some pics.

Got a load of parts back from media blasting today. Now I can start putting it back together.

I tied the doors together so they only blast the jams and inside and don't warp the skins. I will strip the skins with Aircraft stripper.

More pics.

a PO had crudely punched/torn a hole in the inner fender to run lines.

I knew those two green doors would go to a good cause. Nice to see they will be on a six.

More progress today.
