- this inquiry is reaching back into history where verbal statements & recollection of "them who were there" has to substitute for the perfect-documentation-with-pictures that we now have come to expect

i'm now reminded of a thread on 914world just a few yrs ago with pics of a 914 body "under the knife" at Zuffenhausen with substantial new component sections beside it - $$$$$$$

re: "do in USA" - good comment here:
factory replacement bodies - Body-in-White?

another good historical recollection here - factory replacement bodies - Body-in-White?

The owner has had Porsche AG send a truck to his house to borrow it on occasion. He asked them about a full factory restoration and they told him to have it done in the US. He has more than one 356. Super nice guy.
