Anyone out there care to watch me take apart (and hopefully put
back together) a 3.0? I can't start at the beginning because I picked
it up from a shop in this condition. Well actually it was alot uglier.
Years of oil leaks had baked on to nearly every inch.

The interior has been redone in black leather.
I the dash and all the targa and widow trim were also redone.

I don't remember the name of the wheels. Raydel or something
like that. They fit the wells nicely without spacers and they are
period correct for the car.

I am quite sure that the wheels are British RFX Revolutions. I have a set of black center 6.5 x 15 RFX Revolutions on my stock fendered 914. I think PanelBilly's wide silver wheels look good. I bought my wheels in 1991 directly from the Revolution factory. They were very popular with the club racers in England and Europe at the time and pretty common in the US street and street modified road racing series during the 90's, but I think Revolution has cut back on their racing support as I don't see then so often now. Also their web site no longer lists the range of sizes they had in the past. The US distributor seems to have disappeared.

Here is a link to their site:
