Trying to align that 914 once it is all welded back together is looking like it's going to be a huge challenge. I would have added a lot more bracing to keep the unibody squared up before cutting out the floors and driver's side long.
@CTmoog9 ай бұрын
Yes, it's going to be a pain. I will test fit everything before I start welding too much. more bracing going on this week.
@jasonmock73849 ай бұрын
I would have replaced the back panels first and reattach the tunnel, let alone putting the right side framing back together before taking the floor out! I've been hyper paranoid about maintaining all the hard dimensions on mine. Braced like crazy, and replacing one panel at a time . I won't even consider removing my floors until I know my longs are repaired and solid!!

On the back panel where those tubes are at the bottom in one area. On the new panel , measure and make slots for it to go over pipes ,so you don't have to disconnect everything. You could Braise over the slots to close it in for looks. Braising takes less time than unhooking and re-hooking, those pipes and for them to go through.cutting holes for them too.

First time I watch someone attempt to fix rust issues to that level. I must admit I cannot imagine how it will be reconstructed and put back together and if you manage to do it, I will be quite impressed and will never look at restored cars the same way again. To me it looks like building a 914 from new parts. Is there such a thing as a box of parts to build one from scratch?

Good job, man. I remember agonizing over a little bit of cowl rust between the windshield, and the front fenders on my 74 1.8. The repairs that you are doing are on another level. I wouldn't think one that's in such bad shape would even be able to be repaired, but with what we see on the custom car TV shows these days nothing is impossible. I saw a 356 Speedster revived that was even in worse condition than yours. I let my 74 go for $3500 bucks back in 89. Considering what these things bring now, believe me I seriously kick myself in the butt. I've always wanted to do a resto mod with a 914. I see so many people dropping LS V8 motors in these things, and it's always like cringe. I've envision dropping a 928 water-cooled motor instead to keep it pure. Now that's an idea for you. Just buy a 9146 GT chassis stiffening kit after you're done with your repairs, and go find a 928 S4 motor somewhere, some 9146 steel flares , and some super wide Fuchs alloys. Do a search on KZbin. I've seen a couple of fellas doing it. The only problem that I've noticed by installing a 928 engine instead of an LS engine, is that some of the accessories mainly the water pump is too far forward towards the firewall, but this would be easily rectified by removing it, relocating it, and turning it with an electric brushless motor instead of the crank this would be done in order to keep from modifying the firewall. We can only dream... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpatkpVtjdRjipYsi=L_IgNCC7reo7heqE

I learned that lesson with the heater channels on my Beetle.

Hi there, Mr. CT. That thing is getting crunchy-er by the minute.. You're right as you never know what lurks below.. anyway more you search, more you find. I think some problems will arise with positioning, since you're cutting off a lot of parts together. I would consider some extra braces on the bottom part, just to avoid misalignment. The body seats on the dolly but can become unstable. Before welding it together, I advise you to double check measurements and gaps. Otherwise it's becoming very serious stuff. Keep on and keep calm, you will succeed. 😉

I think with this one it was best to remove all the rusted metal first and see what we are left with. There is still a lot to remove. We can always have it dipped later once we have more clear path forward. Although it would have been nice to remove most of the paint I'm not sure it worth the $3,000 at this point. Maybe I can get a 50% discount for half the car being removed! =) haha
