Well, hell. Every time I think of selling the 914-6 that THOMAS built and I finished, I change my damn mind.
I also had my almost completely restored 1987 Carrera posted for a couple of weeks and took that off too. It isn't about the money. I have that disease that Steve Gaglione transmitted via an autocross and some Rolling Rocks in 1976. That was all she wrote. Damn that guy! I will be looking for a 1975 911S and a 1973 914 2.0 to do in the spring. The S will be a Carrera RS tribute in lime green or yellow (Andy color infection), and the 914, well, who knows, but that 73 2.0 Bahia Red I had is talking to me from the grave or St. Louis, I can't tell which as I could never find it again after selling it in 1988 there. The guy passed in 1999 and the address has a new family there since 2000. Now I want to wrap the track car in a single color with door circles in white and 2 - 12 inch White Pearl Stripes. Looking at the wrapper's 3M book, I saw a beautiful Red, a Lime Green, A Medium kind of Green, and Tangerine Orange, but I want a pearl finish. Not sure what to do, but has anyone here wrapped a 914 lately? Any pics would help. No decals other than maybe NARP or 914World discs I got a few years ago, but I really want some suggestions, please. Thanks! John avidfanjpl ps - Tommy Trischler and Bruce Stone, mom passed away in June and I am just getting back to a reasonable life with a new job in Capistrano, and I early retired out last August, took 4 months off and started the new gig in January. I have been invisible here for 22 months. Good to finally be back. Time to see you both for lunch in the Carrera soon! Moving to Capistrano next spring. |

Hey Dave,
Thomas the German repatriot did about 75% of the work, all the tough stuff, about 4 years ago, and he promptly sold it to Jonathan at GPR in Santa Maria. He decided to sell it to me after he did the wild and crazy cut down windshield, and I took the car and all the parts and spent time finishing it. Took much longer than thought, and I just spent $1,100 this past week on a pile of finishing touches before the wrap. When she done, she be bitchin, but then the wrap. I now will wait on the wrap until after Christmas, because I will go 12 laps at the December AX in OC then wrap her. No sense in getting a jillion stones off the hot Hankook slicksup against a new wrap. Still not sure on the wrap, but I have some time. Work travel is now at 75% but I am enjoying the Hotel Living lifestyle in 5 stars. Post-retirement job is better than the old one I had for 12.5 years DC, then NYC, then DC and NO I never had the time to do a build thread. Usually I just post a pic of the results. Color, color, color? |

Some good tips here, I've been thinking of wrapping a few things on my car as well, it's just currently at the bottom of my never-ending to do list... |
