Tony is a true renaissance man: ski patrolman, foot model, and lover of stray LEs. You are the man, Tony! |

Very nice, Tony! I'm currently restoring a BB that I found in a field in North Texas. Mine was in far worse condition for sure. Progress is being made, though. I guess I should create a build post, as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My car is very far along right now and two years behind in posts but i will catch up real quick to where I am with the project today. Don't wait to start the buildpost like i did. |

Will follow your progress. This is my second full restoration on the 914 but first LE. I may have some specific questions down the line that you may be able to answer. Best of luck to you! You'll be driving it very soon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Starting body work
Went at it a little at a time Found some bad bodywork by the past owners. Then we eventually stripped the entire car In great company Attached thumbnail(s) |
