Looks good, what light did you use?


it's a Pilot model #WE6-198 that i found in my stash. i probably bought it 12 years ago and forgot about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) standard GM/Chevy suburban type upper center brake light.

installation involved drilling a keyhole slot in the center base of the light and installing over a partially-inserted roll bar pad screw. easy, non-destructive and reversible.

Had to take advantage of a beautiful fall day to put a few more miles on it (just in case 242,332 one-owner miles aren't enough).


Beautiful Picture! I like those Pedrinis on your car. I have a set of them but never put on my ´71. I think I should get them repainted... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Thanks for all of the kind comments about the car.

RE the Pedrinis, I blasted and rattle-canned the wheels using articles/threads on 914world as a guide. I think I used Duplicolor primer, wheel paint, and clear coat. They ended up a little glossier than the OEM finish, but they are easier to clean and I like the look.

Hope this helps!

installed new 3rd brake light. more safer!



mounted to the targa pad and tucked tight against the window...


Looks good, what light did you use?

It's mounted inside the window? Do you get any reflection in the cabin off of the glass?

i drove it last night and the reflection isn't bad at all. it's right up against the glass, and the light aims out the back and ever so slightly down. i get a little bounce-back but it's not nearly as distracting as having a jacked-up bro truck with 20k lumen lights sitting behind me, which happens a lot around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Like on most days at my shop I went by my 74 car that I am building as a super V8 car with 930 4 speed trans and all the best stuff.over and over on way to the John. I am getting too old.

That blue is gorgeous....


Need a horn for the 914, I have spent too much money on this heap and couldn't justify spending more for a hockey puck horn pad so I figured I'd make my own version.

Total winging it since I do not have one to copy.

Still need to make the leather piece that sits in center.

Not sure if I will paint it black or leave as is.

Went to see our 75 2.0 Palma car yesterday to drop off parts for the engine install after rebuild. Also got a screaming deal on a 70 2.0/6 long block and a 69 911s 2.0/6 full engine... one of these babies are going in our 6 clone.

Mike, @mueller that hockey puck looks great. I would shoot it the same color as the steering wheel spokes, but that is just me. Have you considered a 5-lug Fuchs center cap for the cap? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The 69S is a special engine. I sold one in core condition for $20k.

Not a huge accomplishment. Swapped out the cheesy chrome license plate frame with this well patinaed one from the original selling dealer. Still looking for an affordable example with the Porsche shields.

At 40 degrees trying to decide if I'm up for a ride in the heatless wonder this afternoon. Attached Image
