Thanks to everyone for their support and advice. I will post some pictures soon. Waiting on the COA. Locating the original engine would be very nice. We are still trying to figure out how to go about this project - Cellete vs. fixed/dedicated fixture/jig. Rick, Scotty, and Kent have all been very helpful. We will put a game plan together after Hershey, and then start the process. Right now it is just slow disassembly, parts photographing, and organization. Oh, and figuring out which of my other cars to sell. The wife says I can keep any 2 of the 3. One of the 4s will need to go, I guess.

A couple more original Adriatic Blue sixes.
Its pretty rare to have two 914-6 of the same color at CFR at the same time.
The narrowbody is mskala's AX car.
The widebody is a 350hp track car. Owner also has an Adriatic Blue -4 track car.




Very nice. My wife and I have a soft spot for blue 914s. Blue and tangerine are the best 914 colors, to my eye.

Some photos. I can't make these smaller at work. So when I get home I'll post some more.

You're missing a hubcap Steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) .

It's great to see so many sixes being restored correctly from less-than-optimal starting points. Nothing prettier than a fresh 914-6 restoration done right. I'm sure you'll get it there.

Actually, missing two - both rears.

In parts collection mode right now. Hershey was great. But, I spent so much time in the tent that I didn't get much of a chance to look for parts. Here is what we are looking for:

1. NOS sheetmetal pieces - Sail panel replacements, fenders, chassis pieces, etc.
2. 914-6 relay board
3. 914-6 oil tank (original)
4. Two 914-6 hubcaps (with the Porsche Crest in the middle)


Thank you Craig from Camp 914 for the windshield chrome. It will look great on the car.

6 kids/3 914's does not sound like an unfair ratio to me, you need to do a little more negotiating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

With six kids, I probably owe her whatever she wants. Besides, I'm the 7th kid. Or so she says. I'm kinda a one car guy anyway. Hard to fall in love with more than one car at a time. :-)

Scored a set of NOS windshield chrome from Camp 914. I don't think I have ever seen new 914 chrome before. Thanks Craig.

Check your local Porsche dealer. Much of the trim is available.

Thanks. Do the dealers really stock it? Or do they order it. Just curious. I wonder how much they run. I saw this set and figured I would grab it.

Nope, not bad at all. Anytime one of these motors comes on the market I always hope it finds its way back to the car in which it belongs.
