Looking good!
Martin -
Looks good! I am also doing this kind of work on my 914. A couple of questions:
1) What did you use to remove the interior glue and sound-deadening-tar-stuff? I'm having a heck of a time getting it off.
2) I am rebuilding my pedal box. Yours looks fantastic, did you replace the springs and other pieces or just clean them up?
3) I am really struggling to remove the pedal shaft roll pin. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey Martin..!!!
Well - stop posting and get to work!!!! Also - I'm interested where you are finding rust in the left Long..?? I know I fixed the right - by the battery tray, but where on the left did you find it???
Anyway - don't answer - just get to work, take pics - then post them up!!!! Obviously - that car went to the right owner - as I couldn't be more thrilled by how you are improving/rebuilding it..!! Simply outstanding!

Wow! The 'teener is going to look awesome! John D. and I had so many great and interesting times in that car. I just have one question...how come John D. never did that! ...I know.... too many Porsches + Rennlist = No Time + No Money. Oh well!!! I'm so glad it's with the right owner. Keep the pictures coming!!
