Wow! Nice work!
Posted by: Mikey914 Oct 20 2019, 12:00 PM
Wow,
Your well into the home stretch!
Was the car an actual LE or it a tribute?
The wheels and year are correct. The air dam is even correct.

Phenomenal resto. Thanks for saving this one. Will send you an email.
Posted by: David Billo Oct 20 2019, 04:18 PM
Do you have build thread here on the forum, or offsite? I'm very interested in the details of how you tackled some of these problem areas. I expect to end up doing a lot of the same things on my car.
Where are you, exactly, in Québec?

Nice save.
Some of that rust was scary looking...

If you can get your 914 done on time there's the PCA UCR SIG914 get together the weekend of August 2nd at Mosport racetrack. Includes camping and a 40 minute 914 parade around the track. Also a fun run ending with a corn roast at my place on Sunday.
Admission is free with a PCA membership.

The side stripes from 914 rubber
The hood badge/crest looks great- dead on placement
. I'm too chicken to drill my hood & went the 916 rout instead using the old, orange striped front handle crest off of a 356 on her backside

The side stripes from 914 rubber
We matched the color from a spare tire off an original LE. We even formulated touch up paint too.
If you want to call out a RAL color I'd be happy to cut you a set of whatever you need.

Talk about resurrecting the dead, you have lots of skills and patients.

Dude, I've got to hand it to you. I think the last time I saw rusticles like that I was watching Robert Ballard's video when he found the Titanic over two miles below the ocean's surface, using an unmanned submersible. Incredible. Needs a proper name, like Lazarus

Amazing work. Good luck with the sale. There is a guy selling a very rusty creamsicle project on the forums here that I corresponded with. Seems like a very good guy. The car was beyond my skills/abilities but not yours. If you are looking for another project, you should check it out.
Posted by: 930cabman Oct 21 2022, 09:19 AM
Great save, how long until you are looking for another?
Posted by: RAB914 Oct 21 2022, 03:42 PM
yes it's a good time to make profit for me
Posted by: burton73 Oct 23 2022, 11:49 AM

You should be very proud of your car that you have built. It is super nice and a clean machine. In life money comes and goes. if the sale money now will help with life, you did good, kind of like a forced savings investment plan.
