I was asked to show my car this weekend in a pretty impressive car show. I said "yes" without really knowing what I was getting myself into. 4 weeks and waay more hours than I had to spare later, I'm super happy with the way she looks. Paint is perfect, every body part perfectly aligned, a flawless interior, and every inch of that car clean enough to eat off of.

My car is one of a handful here that are worth less than 50k, and there are probably 25 worth over 500k, with a few well over a million, but I have to say, I think she looks like she fits in just fine. I'll post more later, but here is the initial staging.

Major thanks to Johannes for responding with permission to use his artwork in my show board. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Not too bad for an amateur. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Rob, I cannot believe some of the cars here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I was feeling pretty inferior a couple days ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) , but like I said, I'm happy with how it looks on the floor.

Chris,
I've always loved your car but I've wondered why you don't take it up to McMark and have him Megasquirt that thing. Insanity with a touch of civility?

Looking good though!

Hey Chris,

While you have your 914-8 all purdy now, maybe look at showing her at your local PCA Concours. I think that they'd have a Division for "Special Categories" cars with engine swaps.

I know that we have that here in Zone 8 (SoCal, So-NV & AZ) under SC-3, where even non-Porsche engines in Porsche Cars are placed (or non-original swaps, etc.), as well as SC-1 for limited production (917, 908, 906, 904, 959, B32, etc.), & SC-2 for race cars.

That way they don't have to go up against the garage queens & general production cars.

Are you 914-Subie & other resto-mods folks listening!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

In 2015 we had an excellent 914-EV Resto-Mod win our Orange County Concours, & I put the pix on here for it.

Maybe George Rud' or one of the other Chicago PCA folks on here can help you on that.

I say get 914's off all stripes - original/stock, resto-mod & engine swaps out there for the public & Porschephiles to see! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Great Job on the Prep & Show! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

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