Photos of my LE #4742914360, A big thank you to all those who helped with this project Options

[Creamsicle New Zealand]

Hi all, well this project has finally finished (well 98% finished) after approx. 3 years from go to woe. I became aware of 4742914360 approx. 18 months ago when I joined the 914World forum and put up a WTB for a LE. I was approached by a number of LE owners (thank you to all those people) but the one that got me was from Brian and Kate from the UK who had this car being fully restored by Original Customs. Brian and Kate had decided to change tack during this resto so offered it to me. I received the car in Dec. last year without the interior being completed as I wanted to have some input myself into the resto here in New Zealand. I must say it is not cheap restoring a car from NZ but in the end it has been a great and rewarding journey.
One of the great rewards in all this were the people who I put my trust in and who came thru with honesty and integrity. I purchased the car unseen other than photos and from a PPI done by a highly respected person on this forum. Some times I was nervous and wondered if I should fly up to the states to personally view the car but as mentioned above I decided to trust certain people and they rewarded me with that trust.
A resto like this can only be achieved by a number of people, I would like to thank them here -
Brian and Kate
Michael Nagy (previous owner before Brian and Kate)
Mark DeBernardi from Original Customs
Jeff Bowlsby
Rob Sime
Craig from Camp914 who went out of his way many times for me
The car is not perfect, no car is, but it is in excellent condition. Please feel free to critique I will not be offended or take it personally.
The motor is non original but is period correct.
I have enclosed photos when Michael sold it to Brian and Kate, at that stage Michael had saved the car from the crushers.
I hope this gives other people inspiration to tackle those big restorations and to keep these magnificent cars from the crushers.
