ok ok ok, who wants a preview?
spent some time at the garage cutin rust out of the floor of the 914 today and oh what fun it was. I also did a ghetto photoshop of what my paint etc is gonna look like when the car is done. I know ive said that its a top secret project, but here it is...first my floor, then what the car looked like when i bought it, and then what it will look like in a few months......ENJOY!

well, i couldnt get real detailed on paint program- the line actually will follow the contour of the top of the fenders and go into front marker light and end. The black bumper will carry the line across the front of the car.

Yeah, if I may advise, leave the sound deadening stuff out of it. That's what trapped most of the water between itself and the floor. I thought it held up rather well for 30 years :-p

lucky me, someone has already welded up all the rockers,pans and battery tray stuff, but didnt get the rear of the floor/firewall fixed right. OH, and the sound deadening is already gone.

actually house of colors is not that bad, cheaper than chromabase in some cases. Silver is only like $30. a quart IIRC. THe topcoat colors are somewhat more though.
