After a few months of working with John Forbes at Black Forest Racing, and Rich Bontempi at High Performance House, my first 914 (1974 2.0 in Bahia Red) is on the road. Check out some pictures of the process at the link below.

http://www.motoroso.com/collection/view/54b3f28843520

It was a restoration that started back in the early 2000s, and picked up again in November. Some of the little touches I had added include:
  • Euopean pistons
  • Lighter flywheel
  • Bilstein shocks in the rear
  • Weltmeister front sway bar
  • Polished fuchs
  • Red tartan seat insterts from 914Rubber
  • Bursch Street Quiet exhaust
  • SS Heat exchangers

There are a few things that are yet to be worked on, but for now, it's time to enjoy the car. If you're in the Bay Area and you see a Bahia red 914 riding around, I hope you say hello!

And if you like the site where the pictures are, I encourage you to sign up and share. I'm leaving my current job at a big search company to help with the site. As gear heads, I encourage you to let me know what you think!

This was such a great forum throughout the process, and I'm sure it will continue to be so in the future. Thank you to all that have helped, even if you don't know it.
