The 2015 Ed Carroll show was pretty fun. I took First Place! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here are a couple other 914s that were at the show.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) As it should be. What a wonderful acknowledgment of all the hard work you put into your car. Well deserved and definitely earned.

A few months ago, I tracked down the correct rear valance for my car. Thanks go out to Peter and Bruce. Fed Ex just dropped it off today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll have to drop it off to the fabricator so he can straighten it out, and do some welding before it gets painted. I think it will be stored away,and installed for shows instead of keeping it on the car for now.

Make sure it's the "porthole" valance for a -4 if you have a -4, or for a -6 if you have a -6 with an actual 914-6 muffler. The portholes are in slightly different locations.

I believe that a 911 muffler will actually put the tailpipe in the location of the -4 porthole, or at least close to it!

I have a 6 valance as well. Neither fit with the current exhaust. The tail pipe on the exhaust is for a Type IV VW. I'll need to shorten it a few inches to fit the 4 cyl port hole valance or change out the exhaust again.

Either way, I'm just glad to have found the valance. It will add to the value of the car if I decide to sell it. I've got an eye on an 71 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I showed the car again this year at the 2016 Ed Carroll show.

Lots of nice Porsches!

Sorry but what is the turqouise car in the background of the pic above?
The front looks like a Karmann Ghia, but the trunk lid and rear window line looks like a corvair.

And A fiberglass rear valance could solve your exhaust alignment issues as I have "moved" the hole over on one to fit my KH header with supertrapp exhaust.
Looks like factory from the back

Thanks Mike.

Today I added one more final detail. A while back, I had the guys at CarBone make me a octane decal, and it finally got here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Turned out pretty good. I even tried to put it in the same location of the original.

I am so sorry to see that this problem is persisting. I hope you check the entire harness and are able to definitively identify the source. There has to be a commonality between the two incidents so far. Electrical stuff scares me -


Electrical scares me too! It seems like everytime I get one thing worked out, something else pops up. I do have a line on a NOS harness for a 70. I'm just not sure I want to drop another grand into the wiring though.


By the way. Looky what I have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)






I'm happy to see the early port hole rear valance end up on such a wonderful resto (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Did you ever find out what was wrong the wiring? Harness? Switch? Operator error?

Thats on e of the worries that I have! Operator Error, that is!
