Hi everyone!! I am the owner of a 914 LE. There is a big Porsche event approaching. I have been debating on which to enter, the Full concours which includes engine bay, or the people's choice. The car has been restored, but still 40 years old so not perfect. Any advice??

Not in person but I remember the ad. Looked pretty good & I think it's already on Bowlsbys LE registry. Really is the opposite of a creamsicle in that since it's black, all the dirt on the outside will show. However, trunks, doorjambs & engine bay hide the dirt better on a Bee over a Sicle. But you really have to clean every damned thing there is & that is not easy. Also pay serious attention to Big Lens post because he's spot on with those details as well.
