Hi everyone.
I've owned my 914/4 2.0 since 1993. Around 2013, I noticed that the longs had weakened to the point that the doors were no longer fitting properly, and I bought a set of repair panels from Brad Mayeur. Never got them installed because life got in the way, as it sometimes does. I decided that this will be the year that I get back at it. It's one of 3 project cars wedged into a 2 car garage, and it's the only one lined up with a door. So the other 2 cars are trapped until I get the 914 moved out. So that's part of the incentive.  This is an older pic because I don't have enough room to take a current picture of it because of the junk piled around it. |

Glad you’re finally getting around to it. Lots of work and fun ahead!
Is the car in the VIN database? |

Excellent - welcome - you're in the right place. Ask questions here - many times, if you have a very specific question you can always start a new thread just for that question and then move back here to keep this one complete.
Also - it can be a bit tricky to search here but I've found that using this link works well: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=0024083458981...772:ajvfxschcgc |

Don’t just lay the repair pieces over rusty metal. Fix the longs and then use the reinforcement. It’s the only correct way to repair the car. |
