I just wanted to say hello. I'm picking up my 1st 914 I won over ebay today. 71 1.7L, a supposed 88K miles, looks to be in great shape. All she needs is a cluch from what I can tell. This will be replacing my recently departed 86 alfa spider.

Here are some pics I took sunday while looking at it. It is a respray, and I was wondering if anything can tell me if this is a factory color. It didnt seem to match any on the 914 color list

welcome. the car looks great. when you get into the clutch, do a search BEFORE you order parts. there are odd items you might relace while you are in there. you'll hear that alot.

On the inner drivers side door jam, there is a badge that says the paint code. It is opposite side of the badge that has the date on it. Prolly not the original color, as that looks like guards red, a 944 color. Mine is Guards Red also, but the original color was met. silver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Nice looking car tho!

That would be cool. There is a guy on a board I run, www.vdubaddiction.com,for all you VW guys, who has a 74 I believe. Does anyone around here meet and have gtg's? I'm sure I will have some questions and would love to see others cars.

Welcome.

It is hard to tell from a pic, but it is probably a non-original color. There is one way to tell for sure. Inside the driver's door jamb, you will see one of these plates with the color code on it.
(IMG:http://members.rennlist.com/914_canam/zchassisplate.jpg)

Write down the code and look it up on on of the color sites. If it tells you that your car is Zambezi Green, you've got a color change. If the code is for one of the reds, then the fun conversations will begin.

Have fun with your 914!

Yeah it was originally signal orange it looks like. the underneath was ziebarted and some spots show through. As well as under the seats. But overall it was done nicely. You can barely tell.

I don't know of any gtg's besides the generic Porsche stuff like a swap meet at Zim's. I know a few people around DFW who are social - I think we need to get out own deal going.

I have parts and knowlege if you need anything or have questions.

Pretty car! Man I love these little machines!

Welcome to the group!

You'll have fun here.

Just to let you know... we like to use the following little pictures in our posts....

Don't take any of them seriously. We're all laid back and like to kid one another!

Take more pics when you get her in your stables!

Also, since you know it has been reprayed you can go to a auto body paint store, and have them use the "gun" on it. It's like a big radar gun looking thing. They clean a spot and if it is not faded it will tell you exactly what you have. My old car was reprayed 85 gm flame red (corvette color) from ravenna green. Then I had them make a bottle of touch up paint, It matched perfect. Ferg

BTW Nice lookin car

Thanks for all the tips. I was planning on getting the pelican parts clutch package and doing the rear main while i'm in there. The paint gun sounds like a great idea. I need some touch up paint for some small blemishes, but overall the paint is in great condition. I was also thinking about painting the valences. Does anyone know if that exhaust is stock or not? Also, the fuel rail is new and has a pressure gauge on it. After reading all the problems on here that can be diagnosed by fuel pressure I think this is cool, but not something I normally see.

I'll be sure to take some more pics when I get her home.

here is what she is replacing.

The exhaust looks like a Bursch. You are missing the rear valance, so if you want to repaint them you might want to get one so you can do it at the same time.

Nope - I did not make it. I will be there this time, though, and I hope to meet lots of people finally.

Don't paint the valences! I've seen stock valences painted black, I've seen ABS valences. And my last one even had a stainless steel valence.... they all looked fine.

But when the valence panels match the car, for some reason it doesn't look right..... Just my opinion, the car looks great the way it is.

Congrats!
