Great thread. Lots of results and very little talk. Keep up the good work.
Wow, this 914 will be painted before mine even goes into the paint shop! 
Great and fast progress here!! Thanks for sharing !

thats very interesting to hear, so you can't use replacement panels cut from a donor car, you have to either get new repro panels or fabricate new?
i can sympathise with the customs hit. australia is a country full of sheep that find it hard to walk around. it used to be much worse 30 years ago, you had to go and have a good lie down after customs finished with you.

yes we can use panels from a donor car(only if the vehicle is already in Algeria).
for the moment I never found an other 914/6 or 4 in Algeria.
we can buy some little parts (accessories) shipped by DHL.

Do you run a VW/Porsche restoration shop? Wondering because you can see the two buses and 911.
