I picked this up this past weekend, hopefully this means there's a WCR in my future. Have been in a state of trailer envy ever since borrowing the famous P-Car Hauler from @ValcoOscar so I had to step it up! (and also after borrowing the P-Car Hauler the wife was onboard with it) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)




Sweet trailer Eric. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Wow...and aluminum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

He is your 914-6 on my P Hauler

Long ramps are good. Tilt is even better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

My brother is recovering from major back surgery and is doing very well, but there is no way he could get into the 914-6 with the surgery being less than a month ago. So my cousin Phil, another insane car guy came over and we took my Six to the Cars & Coffee at the Alamo Square shopping center in Alamo, on Danville Blvd. on the north west corner of the intersection of Danville Blvd. and Stone Valley Road. Large center and for the past 6 months they have been having Cars & Coffee at 0900 on Fridays so long as it is not raining.

My car was very well received and people were really eye-balling it and the quality of the work. These are some serious hot rod/car guys and I must have given Kent's info to 4 or 5 guys who were just head over heels over my paint.

Had a great time and saw 1 other 914, a '73 1.7 that looked essentially stock. Did not get to speak to the owner, as far as I know. I look forward to next Friday, weather permitting.

In the last few month, I fixed the door stopper on both sides, the coupling rod and installed the heating fan and a new steering wheel.

So, I can’t wait for the spring and start a test-drive today :-)

one of a kind! a pretty good fit i’d say. this fit an the material is every bit as good as anything i’ve see before.
i went with black in the sides due to tires and dirt along sides and bottom. . well worth the $350 or so i paid.

@KSCarrera is the drivers side seat mounted directly to the floor? looks like the cross support is not there or lower than stock?

Both are mounted to the stock subframes using cross braces which are stepped down, dropping the seats about an inch lower than stock.

Very few Hill Climb events still exist in the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

They were fun, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) and a 914 is an excellent weapon of choice.





Looking Good @KSCarrera (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Not the base - I unbolted the subframe and runners/rails from the stock seats and ran cross braces between the two sides. The Cobra seat was narrow enough to sit down between the runners, so I stepped the braces down by an inch, meaning the seat sits lower than stock (giving helmet clearance with the roof in place) but you can still use the tilt and fore-aft adjustment as per stock. In my rush – sorry, enthusiasm – to get the job done, I didn't take a photo, but I can do a sketch if it helps...

Cool seats. Good idea on the rails.
