Disaster

Post by den 912de »

I got to my garage today to find the stripped down and newly resprayed car full of 2 inches of water. It appears the garage roof leaks. I took some photos which I hope I have attached successfully. There is a lot to do but I just about have all the bits I need - and with Kev's help I hope to be on the road again soon. I'll post more pics as the reassembly progresses:

Paint job looks lovely by the way:-)

Crouch End? I lived in crouch end 34 years, drove my 914 for 12 of those...
I have no smiles I shed no tears,
In an eternity of pain I have no peers.

Car looks good - at least the new paint should seal all the water out and avoid rot, as long as it had cured.

What colour is that? Is it an original 914 colour?
