A rechromed bumper here in Michigan was $330. Repair work to remove dings was additional, about another $70 on this front bumper.
Yes, this car is the BLUE 6 plate.

Here's the rear of Doc's Blue-6. Rear bumper chrome looks like the front.

Hawk, your car is an inspiration. I have an Irish green six that I plan to restore next winter. Original interior is tan. After learning that tan basket weave is NLA I was planning to change to black. Seeing your tan interior has changed my mind. Who needs basket weave!

I saw an Irish green/beige 914/6 at AA this past April and that's a fine combo. Dont despair on giving up on basket weave, Ive learned how easily you can make a black vinyl part any color you want. Black to beige should be no problem with the proper spray and technique. I didnt do my interior refreshening but seeing how its done, I wouldnt hesitate to try it myself. Good luck.
And thanks for all the kudos guys! Makes the arduous process worthwhile when those who know these cars can appreciate it.

Great job Hawk.

B, you want pics, I'm in the process of redoing the fuel delivery system, move fuel pump to front trunk, POR the fuel tank, replace the plastic fuel lines in the center tunnel with aluminium lines and fix the dual weber 40s. Stay tuned, I'll be posting pics and questions.

Again, fantastic car Hawk.

Truly gorgeous work... What did you do with the old interior? It looks to be in great shape.

Ive acquired 3 interiors now- saving them for my next projects. This is addictive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
I do have a late model black complete one with dash I would let go though.

Yep.. Mr. Chambers got to the Irish Green car before I did (phone messages from the seller wherent making it to me (human error..not on my part) I think the Green car will be a good restoration project. So.. what happened to the 6 that you guy'd where pulling the parts out of ??

Hi Brad,
That 6 (number 269 if I remember correctly) is now in the hands of your BBS member Mr. 914. Its on a rotisserie for a full barbecue and dressing to take care of a minor case of 'cancer'. We hope to see it running later this fall. I think you might have gotten out the sawzall for her but we tend to resurrect the dead here in the rustbelt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
