Anyone Replace Longitudinal/Rockers?
I have spent time working with 911's but this is my first 914. I bought a 73 914 2.0 car that is very original and fairly rust free. I do have a bit of rust in the rocker areas towards the rear just in front of the front engine mount. Has anynoe replaced the Longitudinals and rockers. If I am going to replace/ or repair my exsisting rocker areas I am also going to do floor pans and the GT stiffing kit. If any one has pics of before and after rocker/pan replacment that would be great for me to get an Idea of the amount of work and difficult level of this work. Or if anyone knows a site where someone may have documented a restoration on one of these. Thanks in advance.

I didnt see anything over there. I have been doing a good amount of searching but there is not a whole lot of restoration pictures available. Any help would be good.

I think you should just unload it really cheap.

Anyone know if Lawrence "Rust-Boy" Bonkoski has his Bumblebee restoration on a website any more? He did for a while, and it was pretty educational to see...

Thanks for the replies guys. I went through the links above and looks like a fun project...but deffinetly a deep one. I have to now consider the cost and time involved. I really love the 911 and maybe should just keep my eyes peeled for another one of those to restore. I have some thinking to do now. What is a 1973 914 2.0 liter car worth? Sport apperance package, chrome bumpers, center counsel, Nearly perfect interior, Black leatherette interior, and get this no cracks in the dash and a Hugh amount of spare parts.
