Hello - (Grüezi is swiss german)
I am from Switzerland and my biggest hobby is my porsche 914 to reconstruct and restore.
End of April I want to go with the porsche on a race track.
At the moment he is but tightly divided and in the paint.
There are still a lot of work.
Have fun with the look.

Great project ! Was the 914 originally sold in Europe or imported from the US ? And, are 914's becoming more popular than when they were originally made ?

Keep posting your progress..

the car comes from California.
in Switzerland, there are a few converted 914. was when I school where I met someone who had so ein916 6 gt.
from there, it was a dream of mine to have a 914 and rebuild.

Nice 916-style transmission! Is that a George Vellios 915->916 conversion kit, or someone else's?

Nice build.

Posted by: Rleog Feb 26 2017, 08:12 AM

Now your transmission begs for gold anodizing!

Posted by: GeorgeRud Feb 26 2017, 08:26 AM

Wunderschoen! Please keep posting pics of your build.

Posted by: daytona Feb 26 2017, 09:00 AM

radhof,
Hi from sunny Florida.
Very cool car you are building. I really like the gold anodized covers.
That 3.6L in a 914 should be enough to show who is the boss at the track.
I have a question: How are you going to register the car? I was under the impression that you could not do this kind of modifications to a car in Switzerland.
Please keep posting photos of the build process. We all love to follow along.
Great build.
Bill.

It is difficult to register the car.
Since the car was registered before 1974 and it gave original 6 cylinder 914 is it with single acceptance possible.
I have today mounted the fueltank in the porsche
