Hello 914World. I just purchased a 914 this week and am looking forward to building and restoring it. I'm a family man and have built a couple other cars over the years including my daily drive widebody Audi S4 on a very modest budget. I want to do something classic that has good performance with this car and found my template. I hate the idea of not doing something unique with my car, but I love everything about this car and don't see any reason so screw it up by choosing a different color or wheels or something. I was hoping that the collective knowledge of the forum could help me fill in some of the blanks.

What size are the Fuch wheels?
What is the largest tire that fits under the GT bodywork?
I want to go steel fenders, it looks like Pelican and Auto Atlanta are two places to go, any preference? (AA is cheaper)
What color is that?

Everything else (like 5-lug conversions, where to find the vinyl for the sail panels, etc) I'm sure I can find through searching. I know how to do that. I'm in the Denver area and it looks like there are some great members out here so I'll have to try and watch for local GTG's to meet people. I hope to be a great contributor someday, and will document the build.
