Great video. I never thought I could do body work like this, but this gives me a lot of confidence that I can.

Good job. I have 2 1974 914's. fortunately one only needed the battery tray while the other needs the hell hole panel and the tray. Both were from Oregon but I shipped them to Arizona. The first I have driven for 15 years, I love it. The second is painted and I'm just putting it back together. I also bought a rust bucket which turned out to be s gold mine. It had a 2.0 with dual weber 40's, stainless heat exchangers and the factory sway bars. Have you watched any of the Ian Karr videos?

[@AutoDIYdactic]

Yes! His videos have been a major source of confidence for me getting in to this project.

What kind of grinder bit are you using for those spot welds?

[@AutoDIYdactic]

I think it's a 3/8" or 5/16" spot weld cutting bit. From amazon I believe.

No gas shroud on your MIG torch? Nice work.

Nah, its flux core
