I cant believe I am just now realizing that GMS is "the" Glenn S. you are one of the pioneers in the 914 hobby!

Glenn, am I correct in that I remember this car being discussed on the original 914 Renegade site that pre-dated even Pelican? Like 1995-96? I think I have a pic saved on an old hard drive recently after the car was painted red. That car was the only reason I kept the 916 bumpers on my old car, as yours was the only one that had them where they looked good.

Very very cool!

thanks for the kind words Scott, I am about to disappoint you and change the 916 bumpers

Is this door catch a different shape or is it the picture? I know the bolt is probably temporary.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Chris!

"I was just pointing out that this car never had a Karmann badge." "from the back side you can see there were never holes to mount the badge, this is consistent with 914 043 0011"

- that is also consistent with my 0919 - which incidentally, has no trunk stamp either (at least none i can find evidence of, tho i never stripped out the oem paint) - per Dworazik, 0919 was built on a fresh non-production shell prior to being "stamped" in the way that production line cars were done

it wold be interesting to know if 0012 has the vin tab/stamp up under the dash above the ashtray slot
( i had one six that did have it there; mine does not - same "fresh shell" reason as noted above) (it's a bitch to see it! - much less to photograph)

Glenn your forgetting on sixes the only info on the pillar badge is the paint code.. scrape away in the trunk..we want to know ########

I like the foglights (Cibie?)--and chance of a couple close-ups of the mounting?

[/quote]

likely Cibie mini-oscars - the tail mounting location is correct - pictures

the Pallas-Marchal (which are on my 9140430919 & 911s & Citroen) had a different mounting setup in mid-shell - for mounting on the hood - - (i spent a lot of time researching them last year at Rennsport) - 3rd picture -

Finally had a chance to give the car a much needed washing

[gms]

while I had the gas tank out to install stainless steel fuel lines I took a picture of the wash bottle mounting bracket which is different than production units, notice it has no bend in it.

[gms]

the air vents are made of a different material than the stock units, maybe fiberglass?

[gms]

the washer bottle is different


It has a block nipple cap (left)

Mike Fitton found this beautiful Blaupunkt Köln which is what the car came with.
This will be installed later

[gms]

The oil tank is installed and secured, I decided to go with the wide mouth oil filler neck (still need to add rubber sleeve).


The fan shroud and intake manifolds are installed, I am just going to throw together a wiring harness for the engine.

Looking good.. My conversion isn't even that far but this heatexchanger thing is got me side tracked.

[gms]

Looking good...

Thanks Ben

Yesterday was carburetor day, I spend a lot of time finding and cleaning the parts.

[RoadGlue]

Ooo la la!

[twash]

Ooo la la!

lets get to the real meat, fenders on first 52 cars are different, no gasket in fender, use the dime test, first 25 bodies were different from regular production bodies( mounting holes, 914-8 used the early bodies, since they were development car no serial number in trunk. 911 ids used on early cars but using 914#'s, steel id plate, not alu. from owner 0011, show some pics of the fender and door jam area,

[twash]

What year and what month was that built ??

build date for 0012 is about sept 1969 as 0011 was shown in October 1969 Boston auto show as a driving car

yesterday I mounted the carburetors and linkage


New serrated belleville washers and socket cap screws also fresh CV grease


I will be using my Road America race transaxle for now, it has gearing that will work on the street

[gms]

yesterday I mated the engine and transaxle, need to do a couple detail items then up into the chassis it goes. Big thanks to Mark Kinnaman who has been helping with the pesky problems that keep coming up.
