Knock on wood

Just tweaking my '74 and having a blast driving this car. Thanks to all of you on this forum that have helped me along the way as I truly appreciate all the help that's been provided.

Pretty much stock but has some fun stuff. High compression heads, 44 webers, cam for carbed engine, bmw front calipers, front sway bar, 180 lb rear spring set...lots of new items. Blows the doors off the '69 912 I had prior to the 914.

Big thanks to Mark at 914 Rubber and Dave Darling at Pelican Parts.

Can't wait to take to the Texas Hill Country and blast around the cool roads.

Looks great, orbit. Really like the center console gauges being angled toward the driver.

Get rid of the steering wheel cover. Otherwise, it looks fantastic.

Great looking car. I also love the paint job on the wheels. Makes them look totally different.
