914-6 questions Options

[poulinatwop]

hello everyone, I'm relatively new to 914s but have been involved with Porsches for many years. I'm in the process of restoring a 914-6. Overall its a fairly original non-rusty car (it was ziebarted when new). I purchased the car from a gentleman that bought in 1972. I am trying to do the restoration as much back to stock as possible. I was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.

1) what would the original suspension have been on the car and what color were the shocks?
2) Would the car have come with a front sway bar or did the PO add that?
3) The engine is original to the car but at one point the PO tossed the air filter housing. Anyone have a line on where i can find and original air filter housing?

Thanks in advance

Front bars were an option but like what Tdskip said, make a huge positive difference to handling.
The original suspension was basically 911T front suspension.
The air cleaners are in short supply but available on the popular forums - World, pelican, earlySreg and ebay. They are plastic, not like the metal 911 units.
