I got my side mirrors I've been looking for a long time.. 935 Race Mirrors.. I know they are almost completly useless.. but they look AMAZING on the car! And its nt that difficult to turn your head and see if anyone is behind you.. I will post pictures later.. I got them from Better bodies motorsport in san diego.. very nice guys! they gave me some pointers on where I can locate the rest of the stuff on my list (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/popcorn[1].gif)

Yesterday I went home to John Rogers to look at his car.. It took me about 1h 30min to find it, normally a 30min ride from my house, but I got scared when I saw a sign saying "last US exit" then you know you're way of course haha..

If anyone haven't seen his car... masterpice! It is a race car so its not what I want.. But F/G doors/lids/flares etc.. didnt see it run but very nice. And after seeing his car I know I wil rivit on my flares.. looks very good! and the fact that they are an easy replacement is something I like!

Stay tuned 914-X Lovers out there!

Bring it on Christopher! Love to see other's projects posted. It inspires me and helps with ideas. It's a little slow here from time to time, so don't get wrapped up in how many replies you get.


So get to it!

When I talked to John last night he kinda talked me into letting them strip the car to bare metal.. since i noticed (when i put on the reflector) that i think my paint came from walmart.. it looks good on the outside, but it as almost 5mm thick.. (sorry only metrics) original color is bahia red..

As for color.. wanna help me out? I'm deciding between (k, dont kill me now, dont know the porsche names so i use others) Ferrari Red.. (Racing Red) ,Bright Yellow.. (i know my car could use those xtra HP you get from yellow paint) even considerd a blue of some sort.. if you wanna help.. I'm feeling Racing Red now, since that has always been a dream color)

I will paint the targa bar and targa, take all the chrome of. (has anyone done that with the vent windows??) also put rubber around the windsheild.

I am particularly partial to Pearl White for some reason. Or anything candy.

the rubber you wont to put on your car around the windshield is from a Camero I think 76 to like 86. Go to the Chevy dealer ask for window trim of the years mentioned. The rubber looks like a t Flat on top and two bitting ribs that fall into the window track of your 914. Hope this helps.

the rubber for the windshield is coming from our friends south of the boarder..

I'm talking about the chrome parts of the Vent windows.. Ours has chrome, 911's (later ones) have black aluminum or somethign like it.. lets say plastic to be sure you know what i mean... is there a replacement for ours? or is it just powder coating that is the cure..

Just do big, contrasting yellow stripes. And add shiny silver little stripes. Most people won't realize it immediately. Most people here won't realize it at all.
