The JOURNEY Continues! Porsche 914 Restoration, hell hole repair, longitudinal replacement & 914 jack point replacement. The Porsche 914 hell hole is the most common rust repair area on these cars. When it is bad enough, rust rots through from the engine bay, all of the way through to the longitudinal and even through the 914 rocker panels.

Welcome back to my 1975 Porsche 914 restoration project. I finally install the new replacement longitudinal panel on my 914 and this replaces the rust and rot that I cut out previously!

For the keen eyed amongst you, you will notice that at times I say the car is a 1975 Porsche 914 and then at others, you’ll see on screen I say it is a 1976 Porsche 914. This is because there is a mix of information on my car. My car may be one of the last cars made!
