The spider on the windshield happened five years ago just one week after putting this 914 back on the road. I've gotten used to it being there and think that it gives the car that driven hard look. I may replace the windshield someday if the cracks travel any further. Thanks for the comment. Ray

Very nice to see them on the road and driving instead of on a flatbed. beerchug.gif

Beautiful car! Sounds great, too. Great steering wheel, and goes nicely with the brushed aluminum gauge rings and shift knob. Love those windy country roads! smilie_pokal.gif

Looks and sounds great! Mine will be on the road in the next few weeks after being dormant for 15 years.

Nice !!! Black with just the right amount of chrome makes the 914 look so good.

For me the enjoyment is in the driving and I take it out on the country roads every chance I get. Some people have noticed the spider crack in the center of the windshield. I haven't repaired it because I feel it gives the car that I've been driven hard look. Thanks for commenting on my 914. Ray

Beauty!

Looks great Ray! I thought you were on the Mulson straight for a minute!!

Leave the windshield crack as it is!!!!

Replacing the trim is a major pain after glass replacement. I am on my second set of trim having lost half of the first set after my first highway trip after putting in new glass.
