Sure, everyone knows of the /6 owners that have spent all the money, but what about the /4's? I vaguely remember a few folks that have restored 4 cylinder 914's. Have some pics to share? Success/failure stories? I wanted to start a completely new thread for the subject.

Details have been omitted to protect the owner. Over 2 years, down to bare metal and back restoration. Everything, and I mean everything, gone thru, replaced, repaired, improved: few details - all metal body work, butt welded and removed side markers and antennae, zinc enriched primer, six color coats Lapis Blue Metallic, three clear coats; Eric Shea petal cluster; larger master cylinder, rebuilt calipers, turbo tie rods, Elephant Racing Gear bearings; front and rear anti-sway bars, Ebach springs, Koni shocks; Raby cam and Hoffman Engineering Heads, Blyenseng retuned MPS, CFR stainless steel headers, and a million details I have forgot (like all new rubber when you could still get it from Germany, new dash pad, new seat belts (Auto Atlanta - NOS in boxes), etc. etc. etc. And I have driven it over 20,000 miles since it is back on the road.
