Finally got the 914 home from the body shop on Friday.... its been at Yeaman Auto Body since being rear-ended on July 27, 2007. Scott and his guys have been putting it back together since some idiot rear-ended me and my son coming home from my first ever breakfast meeting that I attended in Santa Clara.
After some pulling and straightening, the tension on the flares eased up and only a few minor cracks required repair... then it got a new rear clip, and thanks to Rich Bontempi at High Performance House, it was fitted with brand new tailight housings and lenses, a brand new bumper, and after an exhaustive search, and I do mean exhaustive, I found an excellent used rear center reflector from a nice 911 guy in Virginia. Then, while it was in the shop (might as well) I asked Scott to lengthen the rocker panels and rear valence to match the line of the flares - it always bugged me that the lines didnt match up. Now they do. Now its back home in my garage - only a few adjustments needed to the rear trunk latch and I'll be ready to roll again! Here are some "before" and "after" pics.
