As you might have seen elsewhere on this site and others, I just bought my fourth 914, this time a well preserved 1974 Olympic Blue, that has been in storage for over 20 years.

So first, this is an open invite for anyone near La Quinta CA to come by and see it anytime you like.

And second, a call out for any advice or help to put this car back to dealer showroom condition. Also, what shows I should consider entering once she is complete.

One of my first dilemnas is the side stripes. Were these dealer added? or factory? Should I leave the slightly worn originals in place?, replace them with repros, or remove altogether??
