I am contemplating buying another 914. It would need some parts to make it street legal again.

In particular, Windshield wiper motor, arms, blades etc. Front side marker lights and various lenses. Stock seat belts.

While the car will qualify for and likely use antique tags, I don't need the hassle of getting stopped and being viewed as a source of revenue by the local authorities (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

How available are these components? Am I relagated to used? Are there NOS or modern repros of these pieces?

Of course, this question is intended only for those times the 914club classifieds can't help me out;). Where do folks go for parts?

Just curious what is still available for 35 year old cars. I loved my previous 914, but when I got that one it was "only" 15 years old. Things change.

Love the look of the site. Haven't been here for a bit but really like the improvements!

All the parts you listed will be used but they are all out there.
Those are the "let's take this off to make a race car" parts.

Go to the classified and place a WTB ad and wait.

That's a bit of the problem. It was turned into a track car (flares, rollbar, 2.4l 4cyl, 5bolts etc) but since I don't trailer, I need to make it back to some level of streetability (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
