what did you do to your 914 today Options

Nice!
That looks like a Monza exhaust. That is what was on my car when I bought it. Spent about 20 hours restoring it and heat coating it. Now I’m not going to use it because I built the stainless borla exhaust for it for better flow with the 2056.

That is exactly what it is. So much quieter than my Anza. And it looks good to me. I put a Borla system on my brothers Jeep and it sounded like an old Alfa Romeo. Great sound.

That’s so funny…I built a stainless steel borla exhaust on my 72CJ5 that I built about 10 years ago. It was my first build that I did everything on from top to bottom. Took me 3 years to do it. It was a total rust bucket with volleyball size rust holes in the bed and the engine and trans was in buckets in the back of it. The flow master exhaust I put ion it originally rusted out so I built this one about a year ago. I LOVE the sound of it! This is why I wanted to try it on my 914.

Now a days I need an elevated staging site. I sat the exhaust on those first. Very handy

Nice @Craigers17 Every time I R&R my rims I want studs. May I ask the length and where you got them?

Sure.....I would do my own research because I am somewhat of a hack,...and I bought my stuff on amazon. I haven't put the wheels back on because I'm gonna let the red Loc-Tite set for 24 hrs. The total length of the stud was 61mm...shank is 44mm. They fit pretty well, with plenty of stud showing after the nut is put on, but 80mm would have protruded out a lot further if you like the racer look. When I get the wheels back on, I'll take a pic or 2. For whatever reason, the rears seem to seat a little farther back in the hub, so the studs look a little shorter. Here are the links to what I bought:

@Craigers17 Thanks for the link, I'll wait on your final critique and pics before I order.

Finally got the front end buttoned up after finding shotty bondo caked rusted metal under it. Must have had a minor fender bender in the past and it wasn’t fixed correctly. Cleaned it out and welded it up. Later down the road if I decide to do a full paint restoration, I’ll do a perfect job and replace the spare tire holder area that has a not so good patch in it as well. But for now it will do the job and is protected from future rust. Just laid the paint down and now I can get back to what I was doing in the first place….putting driving lights behind the new 914 rubber grilles.

great idea, does anyone know if the closed end nuts are available?

[Shivers]

The thing I am working on at the time always has the hardest parts to find at that time. Can’t find one then make one. Now all I have to do is grind for about a thousand hours.
I love my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Completely available but gets tricky with the length of the stud. Need to make sure it matches on the exposed threads with the depth of the closed end lug nut.

Thank goodness that the pipe only shows a little under the valance. My welds look atrocious...But it is solid.
