July 4 2014. On this day my 914-6 GT was delivered to me. The project took over 10 years to complete. Besides parts, labor and a whole lot of love....it also included 2 independent Porsche shops, attorneys! and legal fees!

Anyway really glad it's with me now.... and I would say she is 98% complete.

I have put maybe 100 miles on her in the last two days and took it to Cars & Coffee Temecula this morning. She go's like stink and is a friggin torque monster, Good times!

Finally! Congratulations Marv. It looks great and I'm sure a blast to drive. And you don't even have to peddle or paddle to have some fun. (Just don't park it in neutral). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Cheers, Elliot

I've been there with my LE resto. Nothing worse than getting hosed by a shop. I got hosed by my paint guy & then another shop. Sucks when you have issues that way. So glad to see you made it through & have your car back. Looks kick ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

The wheels are HRE 311 3 piece 17" made for early 911, a Fuchs replica wheel with forged centers.....quite light the rears are 19 lbs. Unfortunately no longer available.


Thanks for all the kind words gents. I have been fiddling with it all day... its so so great to have it back in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's a beautiful car you have there. What is the undercoating that was used?
