As you might have seen elsewhere on this site and others, I just bought my fourth 914, this time a well preserved 1974 Olympic Blue, that has been in storage for over 20 years.
So first, this is an open invite for anyone near La Quinta CA to come by and see it anytime you like. And second, a call out for any advice or help to put this car back to dealer showroom condition. Also, what shows I should consider entering once she is complete. One of my first dilemnas is the side stripes. Were these dealer added? or factory? Should I leave the slightly worn originals in place?, replace them with repros, or remove altogether?? Randy |

Thanks everyone for the great info! I think I am leaning toward replacing the stripes with the same style. I just rejoined PCA, I had let my membership lapse a couple of years ago. Its a shame the PCA isn't more active here in Coachella Valley. Next will be the COA, and researching which wheels were on the car. If it was the steelies, back on they will go.
And yes, the engine bay is where the most cleanup is necessary. I am in the midst of listing everything that will require attention, and then work begins. As for pics, I am waiting for my camera to vvome back from repair. Any day now! Then I can post pics as I go. thanks again everyone. And Jeff, you may not remember this, but it was conversations with Randy Weitzel and you that got me into 914's in the first place, about 10 years ago! |
