I've been looking to have a GT built since i first got into 914s,wanted it to be period correct so purchased a 71 shell from a great guy in Denver Colorado,Steve Lindholm,so back in November 15 the car was delivered to start its transformation ,its now June 17 and the car is almost complete.Not great with putting pics up but if this is successful i'll put pics up of the whole resto so here goes Click to view attachment

I can't wait to see updated pictures

Here's a few pics of the #36 just before media blastingClick to view attachment Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentClick to view attachment After blasting a lot more rust was revealed
I'll continue putting pics up over the coming weeks,thought i'd do it once she's nearly complete then you get to see the whole story in a shorter space of time,by the way shes called the #36 as that is the number we chose to put on her when complete ,hope you enjoy
