Seems to be moving on nicely James. Looking forward to seeing the finished car. Good Luck

My engine shelf came this morning from restoration designs. I had brilliant service -left an email and they called me back next day, took card details and it was here couple of weeks later (sans import duty -result)
Now lets see if I can blow holes through it with my amateur welding...

Some pictures you won't see often -unless you're undertaking major chassis repairs -inside a 914 longitudinal section. I managed to squeeze my camera in there before I close it up

red arrow is the jacking point, green is heater tube

Strengthing ribs on engine bay side -I think just below arrow is the 4cyl engine mount

And view towards the rear the end is the bulkhead for the rear boot (or trunk) and the arrow shows the boot lid torsion bar clamp reinforcement

My new patch punched + ready to 'let in' -It's taken my about 3 weeks on and off but I'm very happy with the fit. Thanks again to Barry for his tutelage.
All above the patch is shiny new metal -just horrible light to take a photo

Finished pretty much all the repairs except putting in the new engine shelf. Much more rusty metal than I thought there would be and I had to remove the 4 cyl engine mount and replace all the metal underneath it.
Reached a small milestone by tacking in the last piece tonight and closing up the firewall. This small piece has taken me about 2 weeks on and off (around 1hr each evening)
There's a small amount of tweaking before I plug weld the flanges but I was pleased with the fit and the welds were just right -nice + shiny
