Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
So, about six monthe ago I had an opportunity o purchase some brand new, unused, original front turn signal buckets. Nothing wrong with mine (see photos), but I can't seem to pass up factory new parts. They cost me a bundle, and I didn't need them. Some would call me stupid, and they just may be correct.
So, I'm debating. Plae the new factory pieces on the 914, or stay with theones I have (which look better to me). See the pics & tell me what you think. Pat Attached image(s)

Love putting NOS parts on. Finding them is 1/2 the fun. Go for it. I was lucky enough to procure a set of NOS tail light assemblies w/lenses to replace the melted/cracked buckets on my current car. George dug up some NOS fuel injection rails for me as well. Which I thought was a going to be a search in vain. Now if I could only find a NOS rear bumper. What was the out come on your gas tank Pat? Prepping the car for some 2011 events?

I'll be shipping my 914 off to one of the remaining originally trained 914 people in Cincinnati soon. All the new parts will go with it (may need a second truck). It will not need any body work - only mechanicals. I've finally realized that I need help from someone I truely trust. It may see the light of day in running fashion late in the summer. All of the injection system will need to be replaced, but I have all new parts for every single piece. Not even much cleanup necessary. Depends on the availability hour of the mechanic. BTW, the gas tank is now perfect & ready for install. I'll probably do that before shipping the car. Thanks for your help on this! Pat |
