Maybe if Scott does not want it. It is a complete right side clip from a 71 914-4 stored in the 70 inside rust free.

PM me if still in need.

That looks like a young Pete Stout!

'Tis indeed. First years of marriage, living in downtown SF, just a few years into Exc, pre-kid, a Saturday away. A good Saturday away. Met a bunch of neat folks and got to be just another car nut. Feels like yesterday. And a lifetime ago.

Was just talking with someone about this board, and that the people here are among my favorites in all of Porschedom. There are other cool forums, but there is something about 914world.com, and its subject matter, that draws very cool people to it. Hard to put a rhyme or reason to it, but that day underlined it.

I have a shell sitting at Camp914 but I can't get it until spring. I'm sure someone will come through before then. But if not I am just cutting it up for parts.

Andy, rolled the white parts car in today. I think we have a winner. It does have two holes from being Zebarted back in the day, but don't think that would be a issue for Mark. PM me and let me know if this will work for you.

I can have it tomorrow.

Andy did find a patch on the backside, but it is on the fender side of the jamb. Took a light and couldn't see any patch work on the hinge side. I think this is a keeper. I will contact McMark and mark sure before send it out.

Just spoke with Mark and he said it looks good. I will ship it out tomorrow.

Thank you Sir!

Back from soda blasting. Pure soda is a little too 'gentle' to attack some of the surface rust. I'll be able to quickly hit it with a scotchbrite though. The underside will get blasted on a rotisserie, once the rust repair is complete.

Found 'ghost' images of some factory markings I hadn't seen before.

Woah, that is cool!

Yeah those ghost images are awesome.

How cool is it to see another Six undergoing a complete restoration! I will enjoy this watching this build.

This real /6 project makes what I'm doing to my car look easy.

I'm inspired, and I better get back to work.

Can wait to see it!

That thing looks pretty dang straight! I think I have a 73 fuel tank in my storage shed if you need one. Early style, the cap is missing. I have a 74 tank too with the plastic cap. You won't need it for a while but FYI.

Löóks cäñ be dëçéivïng!


There's still a lot of bendage in that car ...

Andy, if you ever need any part I have its yours. Get a needs list going.

BTW - thanks for this site and the decades of anonymous giving.

Well said Rob!

Yes, and I may not have been clear but the tank is a donation, just PM me if you want it. I have a lot of other stuff too like window glass, etc that you may not have brought with you. Welcome to any of it. I'm like 3 hours away so we can figure out the logistics once it's time to gather up parts.

It's a heck of a lot better than it was, at least!

--DD

True dat, but we don't want McMark to run of out work, now do we?

Hey Andy! Stopped by and checked out your car! Mark has a great shop space and crew ready to go. Anyone that has a chassis that needs some special help needs Original Customs.

Very cool project Andy...very glad it didn't sell years ago! Good for you!

120lbs of replacement metal due to land in a couple days.

Then I just have to finish up a couple other cars that are almost done before putting this six up on the bench.

Mmmm.......steel.

So, the rear trunk pan is solid...

To be accurate, most of this metal is being replaced due to bend/warp/twist and not rust. Not that matters, really.

That's 914 porn (to some folks)

Metal Porn!

That picture is just the way I remember that car. Twisted....

Wow! That is some very pretty metal you got there for SirAndy's car. Can't wait to see some install pictures as it begins to come together. SirAndy has got to be all kinds of excited about that.

Looks like RD is almost to the point of cranking out complete new 914s just like some of the late '60s muscle cars....now if I could just buy me another -6 VIN.......

Andy, I think the value of yours once complete should be judged based on your effort and commitment to save it....it will be worth a mint. Way to go.

Awesome

Is that a 1 piece floor pan?? I didn't realize one existed.

Yup, just lined up.

I have plans for one. Hopefully in the next year I will have it complete.

Pete

Andy is getting it done! Yay!

Mark, have you come up with a plan yet of how tackle the driver side rocker to get the late extra humps flat to match the early style? It would be nice to get it right

I bought a pair of NOS rockers ages ago before I was educated by the forum and realised there was a difference between early and late, so at some point I'm going to have the same issue. It would need a BFO hammer

Looking fab though!

Is it going to be flared or back to narrow body?

Steel GT flares of the extra wide variety ...

Great to see this car restoration being done right and being done in the skilled, capable hands of McMark. I really enjoy seeing projects such as this getting completed and the different stages it goes through on its road to recovery.

Andy, enjoy the car restoration and thanks for taking on the task. It does deserve to be brought back to the road.

It does make my day in reading through this thread.

New house got in the way, it'll be a few weeks before i can reboot this ...

New house? Whoo hooo! congratulation Standing by...

Still on hold until the house is sorted out ...

Any updates or has the /6 been resting comfortably in the Michigan winter?
