I like the carpeted cover in the front trunk which covers everything but the gas tank filler. That makes the front end alot cleaner! Is that custom part or available somewhere?

I think the overall car looks pretty good, although I think the interior could use some work, 1st thing to go would be the wood, then the 80's seats... Hehe, I love the tires, Have some one's on my car that arent going to last much longer..
Whats the deal on this cooler? is it a trani cooler? if its an oil cooler, its smaller than the stock one, am I right?

Anyways, the buyer will probably be a first time Porsche buyer, that really wants a 911, but decides on a 914 because its cheaper. More power to them, raise the value of our cars!

The exterior is nice... the interior isn't to my taste.

I really like the front trunk treatment. Is that carpet around the fuel tank some option that I've never seen before?

Rusty,

It's probably not stock.

But if you have a 914/6 owners manual, check out page 25 -- the section marked "Fuel Tank Filler Pipe". It appears to show a felt covered "cover" for the area around the filler, somewhat similar to the one in the picture. (I'll scan a pic tomorrow if I get a second) I asked about it once upon a time on rennlist, because I've never seen one. iirc, there were comments to the tune of "you can't actually believe what you see in the pics as they might be taken before the final options were settled on".

But I agree, it sure cleans up the front trunk nicely!

Looks nice until you get to the interior..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Maybe a Burl Walnut would have been the
way to go..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Love those tires....

Andyrew,

look where the cooler is located. I don't see how it would do much good at all. It sits on top of the heat exchangers and looks to be touching at the bottom of the cooler. Also, look how it's mounted-2 tiny L brackets. I don't see anything at the bottom. That would need to be addressed post haste.

Metallic cobalt blue wasn't a stock color, and I didn't repaint my trunks when I painted my car. I have to decide how to deal with that eyesore - and a cover might be part of my answer. Looks to be made of matching material to the firewall. I wonder what kind of backing is on it.

No matter what people might think individually there was a sh*# load of work done to this car and and I applaud anyone that invests that kind of time on a project. I like the car except the interior and even that I have to give props to the amount of hard work that it took to create.

First, I can't believe the bidding went to $14.1K. Second, I'm finding it hard to believe that the reserve is greater than that for a 4 cylinder car. Heck you can build your own dream 914/4 for 14 grand.

ive heard that called "buddy bidding". you have something you want to sell....you tell jimbo to raise the price, and then wait for a legit bidder to be had. a scam (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Yea...It's probably the owner with another identity pumping up the cost of hios own car. It's nice, but you'd think he were selling his first born child.

The interior though....whew...gotta go. What the hell was her thinking.

Did you notice the only place he DIDN'T put a Porsche crest was on the front trunk???

Duh.

I do like the custom speakers he did on the floors though...crafty little devil wan't he?

If the reserve isn't met, then what good is it to do that?
Either someone is willing to pay the reserve or not!
