OK, now we have more pics - good.

First - extremely nice 914! Please DO NOT take my comments as those of a whacko ..... Ok, I AM a whacko, but please don't hold that against me.

Here are the problems I see - though they MAY cause you no grief. However, Zone 1 conc's are not known to be friendly to non-originality. With that in mind, I see several problems:
1. Missing fuel injection. Nice carb setup, but this may hurt you the most. Optima battery may, or may not hurt you too.
2. Interior - center console guages are a bit of a problem. Steering wheel is more of a problem. Oh, and the speakers.....not good. Shifter is a definte deduct.

As I've said many times, concours is not for everyone, unless you can find classification that doesn't rely on originality.

Wish you luck at the event. Please let us know how it comes out.
Pat
