Hi all, I’m still a newbie here on world, I’ve made a few posts but have not yet formally introduced myself. My name is Kent and I have been restoring cars for over 20 years now. I did the reconstruction, body and paint on Andy’s (socalandy) 914-6. I immediately became hooked on 914,s and bought and built a 914 V8 conversion. I am starting a new restoration on another 914-6 so I will be posting pics of the progress as I go. The owner of this cars name is Jim and he has done a nice job of rounding up and restoring many of the parts thus far so this will no doubt be a nice car in the end. Andy (socalandy) posted a thread on this car a few months back and now it is in my shop and I’m ready to begin.

Hey Cairo, no hating. I'm just a fan of original, and gold looks good. From one 830 to another. Hope to see your car soon.

No worries - I was joking. But you know my car will not see gold paint as long as I own it. But that makes your car worth more because there were so few gold ones to begin with.

I'm finnished with my part on the car, now it's headed home with Jim. I will be going out to his place now and then to help with assymbly but at this point, I'm turning this thread over to him. Thanks for all the nice compliments on the car throughout the thread, I appreciate it very much.

Nothing short of awesome. Nary a ripple, nor a ding on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)


... wished I could afford to offer that kind of treatment to any of my cars ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif)

I don't know about you guys but I can spot a problem from here....a big problem.



There is no way I'd want to touch that to start putting it back together. I'd be too afraid to nick that beautiful paint. Wow! Fantastic job!!!

Well I decided Jim's beautiful car needs to be seen and share some assembly pictures. We are getting close to completion and it's been a lot of work and fun. Enjoy the pics and I will keep updating this thread as we wrap this restoration up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
