    Porsche 914 EV Project – February 2009 - #27

    Great progress on the passenger side and have completed…

    • The boxing of the bottom of the door pillar. Kid of a PITA to make this part and get everything aligned.
    • Tacked in the door sill.
    • Mounted the “safer” door from the ‘74 parts car.

    I am going to focus on some door fabrication activities next. I need to enjoy the heavy metal work being done on this side and do something a little less taxing. I plan to mount in the 911 power window assemblies and the shaved door kits. This is the best time as I have to move holes, cut things, etc. Then I will work on the considerable work to mount the rear quarter panel.

    And BTW, I received my forged aluminum Fuch’s and they are from an original 914/6 which is nice. I plan to strip them, clean then and then prepare them to be painted on the inside and then polished in the rim areas. Imagine the red wheel below in Irish Green and you get an idea of how cool and matched these will be on the car.

    I am ready to seal up the longitude and put on the rocker panel. I needed to finish up all of the welding that could melt my plastic wire conduit (2 in) for running all the heavy battery wires. I welded in the passenger side of the Engman stiffening kit

    Then ran my fabricated conduit into the front and rear of the positions of the previous warm air returns.

    BTW, can you spot a mistake I made from the pictures?
