Wow! Did that used to be red?

It's too even all the way around to be a fade. It's more of a copper color. Door was locked so I couldn't get a color code. Ws there ever A stock champaign or copper color? My car was copper but a repaint.

That doesn't even look like a faded copper, looks more like a faded burgandy.

You can use my method of adding VIN's: Add the VIN to your list of cars you own (from the "914 Info" and then "Members VIN Numbers"), add a picture to your blog and copy the picture to the VIN details, add/copy & paste info about the car then ask Sir Andy to delete the VIN from your list

I added it to the VIN database. Thanks!
Btw. don't use blog pictures, they don't thumbnail right and the linked picture ends up being too tiny.
Just start a thread like this with pictures and use a link to one of the posted pictures.

I add some cars from ebay and you said not to link to ebay pix as they will not work once the ad expires. Can you add an ebay pic to a thread, then copy to the VIN db? Maybe I'll just start a thread just for that purpose instead of using my blog, I didn't like the blog use anyway....

Don't link to any off-site pictures. Ebay pictures will disappear as soon as the Ad expires. Same goes for Craigslist.
Simply start a new thread, copy the image from Ebay to your local harddrive. Upload the image to your thread here and then copy & paste that link into the VIN form.
A bit more work that way, but that's how i have been doing this all along, works great!

I remember the trouble I was having, When I saved the pix to my hard drive, I didn't get a filename that I could copy into the picture entry, maybe it was a URL? which I solved by saving the pix in my blog because it had a 914world URL.

WOW!!! It's certainly been out of commission legally for a while now! I came to Texas in 96. I don't recall 96 registration looking like that. It definitely isn't 2006.
Posted by: bandjoey Jan 13 2010, 09:39 AM
It's a 1996 registration and yep it's been sitting. Look at how the tires are sinking into the dirt
This accounts for the paint fade, too. Probably a good parts car for someone.
