I don't remember ever seeing the factory assembly line for the 914. I have a factory prepared video of the 356, I've seen 911 stuff. I would really like to see what process was used to paint our cars.

Volkswagen versions originally featured an 80 hp (60 kW) fuel-injected 1.7 L flat-4 engine based on the Volkswagen air cooled engine. Porsche's 914/6 variant featured a carburated 110 hp (82 kW) 2.0 L flat-6 engine from the 1969 911T, placed amidships in front of a version of the 1969 911's "901" gearbox configured for a mid-engine car. Karmann manufactured the rolling chassis at their plant, completing Volkswagen production in-house or delivering versions to Porsche for their final assembly.
So are both these pictures from the Karmann factory who did the body construction up to rolling chassis? Does any one have a photo of the 914/6 being fitted at the Porsche factory? |

I believe the picture posted by Michael N was taken at the Porsche factory. It sure looks like the same background I am used to seeing in the old factory photos of 356's. Porsche is also known to use those dollies, not Karmann. |
