Make sure you take lots of photos of the re-fit & post them up.

Also, what did the car look like beforehand?

Very tasteful - I like it. Its looks a silvery-blue colour but in another photo it looks pewter? Looks like a very nice job as well.
One can only imagine what you did to get free paint...

this is how she came to my hands she was a runner when
the previous owner had her then he stripped her for a rebuild
and then i got her
both door lock areas were rottern and various holes here and
there but on the whole not bad this is my first 914 and i havent
done a rebuild like this before it will be a while before i get her
on the road hoping to do 996 carbon seats clear side lights
a turbo motor with intercooler and water injection either that
or a scooby motor as you can tell im not going for origional it
needs to be a fast road track car hoping for 150 bhp + if i turbo
the four pot and 200 + if i do the scooby motor also will be
doing 5 stud 911 wheels and brakes will keep posting updates
on a reg bassis when there is some progress to show but im in
no hurry needs to be right first time as im a
perfectionist but it will be a tastefull modern twist on a classic
dont worry it will get thrashed when its done though trying to
build this for as little as possible not doing to bad so far the budget
hasnt topped £900


before it left the road for a rebuild
