Did you find the Karmann Plate on the driers side door jamb?

I did not go back and look yet. What else would decrease the value on a restoration? If I choose to paint it one of the original 914 colors does that co
Promise or does it have to be the exact same color. I don't like that original green.


If your looking for a quick turn and burn then paint it its origional color. If you are keeping it for yourself then paint it whatever color you want. Everyone is a critic but I say its your car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I am planning on keeping it. I have no intention of selling for now, but I want it to keep its value as much as possible.

I would like to paint the engine covers, the rims, and the fog light grills
I am opemn for sugession as to what color I should go with...

Look at some restored cars in Irish green. I bet with a fresh coat of silver paint on those Mahle rims along with a new paint job, you'll be pleasantly surprized how nice it is in that color.

Take a look and let us know the color if will be something like L96B, or another 4 digit code. I'm sure there are a few guys here with the same paint that would be happy to post thier cars. Who knows maybe you have a Palma green. There are a few colors that are more collectable.

I looked at the Irish green, it is not the same as my color.
Whats the best spray (type) paint to use on these rims?

If it's soft it doesn't belong there. Poke at it and see if a hole opens up.

I did and it came off in pieces like rusted hard tar, By soft I mean its not metal if it is its very thin. part of it in under the middle console. the accelerator cable hole runs inside of it. I peel/ crak a rusted piece and its not showing a hole on the actual floor pan. I cant take pics now since i dont have a lift.
