Hi guys,
I thought it would be time to introduce myself. 40 years old now and had a lot of classic cars to toy with in the past, started with a beetle 20 more then 20 years ago and ended up now with this 914. I've had a soft spot for them for years, I regret not buying one earlier because the prices keep creeping up but hey that's life... I haven't taken good photos of the car yet because I immediately started fiddling around with it. It came with american racing le mans wheels, these where painted badly, paint started peeling off, cracks in the paint, overall a bit of a messy look. So my first job was addressing the wheels. Dem |

 the start, you can see the bad state of the paint  Here you can see the rims after I glass blasted them  next up was polishing the lip on a friends' balance machine  bought new shiny centercaps  last step was covering the heart of the rim with graphite spray to darken it a bit, let it rest for 2 days, wipe it of and put a layer of 2K clear coat on them. It's not a professional job but I'm satisfied with it. Next step is fitting the wheels with longer studs for a more classic race look. |
