Hello I just got a '73 -914 with a 2.0.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I grew up with porsches in the family and I have wanted one since I was a kid. I am 28 now and looking to fully restore pan off and all. anyways....

I am trying to find the center reflective insert between the tailights and having a heck of a time trying to find one . Prefer new but used would do.

also now any honest tech shops in Vancouver washington/Portland oregon area?

And which motor is best for conversion? I would like to stay aircooled and porsche. I don't care for the V8 american conversions.


any suggestions on what I should look out for and what to replace as I go would be gladly welcomed and I am sure I am getting bashed for a newbie.

Have a great christmas!
