Great job Steve! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

It's also nice to see your fellow Kiwis chime in here too. One other I know hasn't yet, but I know he's touring Europe/UK/USA now, so he'll chime in soon too, I'm sure.

I have the greatest respect for you Kiwi & OZ folks downunder taking on 914 projects & importing the cars & parts, being so far away! .... aside from the usual difficulties of just doing a resto & keeping them running thereafter!

Cheers Mate! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks every one for your responses, very encouraging. To answer Elliot's question about how many 914 are in New Zealand, we don't know but I have recently meet two fellow 914 owners in Auckland one of whom is recovering from major surgery. Once this chap is better it is his intention to start up a 914 registry here in NZ so hopefully in a few months we can let our 914World brothers and sisters know.

What a nice looking car Steve, and to think that someone was going to crush an LE!!!! Mind you, I suppose when you think about all the cars that we grew up with that aren't around any more, they must have fallen victim to the same fate that awaited "914 LE".I think that at one stage John G. thought there was around 19 x 914's in New Zealand. Great to see another one.

SO true Tom,it works the other way also,the respect I have is for helpful people on here and others who have gone out of their way to feed me with a constant supply of the parts I need ,some great folk out there.
IMO the interest and goodwill shown by 914 owners far outweighs anything I have seen on the many other forums I have been on.
People ask me when is your car going to be ready?,I have a standard answer..."waiting on parts from oversea's".
Steve mentioned that he would welcome critics and helpful hints alike,very hard to fault this car,great work really.

Funny a car mad country like ours and only 19 914's not many really.

Not that the whole car isn't great, but I think the interior is particularly well done and very sharp looking!

I can't believe I missed this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Anyway, wanted to add a link to the pictures of the restoration process. It was a really amazing project to be part of.

Seeing it again (even in pictures) reminds me of how great of a car it was. I wish I had a car that nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
