I am a half-year 914 guy, the car spends a lot of time in winter storage here in Northern Michigan. I bought my 1974 1.8 in 2007, helped along by the generous advice of 914world members.
Now the Parade is only 40 miles from my house, I am thinking of entering the concours. Immediate questions involve the completely unoriginal radio, wheels that have been repainted, and front and rear sways that I had installed when Brad Mayeur did the original work on it. Otherwise it is a very clean car. I am wondering if I am ineligible for a "survivor" judging because of these mods? My original thread with pics: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=69564&hl= Thanks for your help. Paul |

Paul, I guess it all comes down to the condition of your paint. Looks real nice in the pictures. Try them both and see what works better for you. The Mequires + PS21 will be less aggressive than what John suggested. Anxious to hear what your results are. Like I said, just passing along what worked for me.
James, I agree with you on the clay bars. I think used four of them to do my car. You can only kneed them so much before your running dirt particles over the surface. I was just amazed how smooth the paint becomes, after using them. |
