Looks awesome. Are those 16 inch rims? The wheel/tire size look perfect.

Thanks so much. The rims are factory Fuchs deep sixes. Refinished by Harvey Weidman and they look perfect as you would expect. I love the look and once all is said and done, I will shop for a set of Gas Burners as I really like those on the 914. That way I can change the look every once in a while.

It is sitting low in the rear so we need to raise it so the rear is about 1/4" higher than the front and I think that will be good. Of course the rockers, valances, and engine lid needs to be fitted still.



Looks great!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Wow! It looks great!

Michael,

It's the red arrow hose. Goes from fill neck to top of crank case breather housing.
Looks to be two hoses.

Thanks

OK- some additional photos- now the valances are in place. I love how the exhaust pipe exits the port hole. Ben nailed it. Also, and this is a big one, I really like the front valance modification Kent did. That in conjunction with the 5 black rubber plugs we left out of the front panel should provide sufficient air for the oil cooler and see the engine oil nice and cool. The fitment is excellent and I just love it. Jim and Kent did a great job here.

Michael - That shot of the engine compartment: Red and Green, reminds me of Christmas and what a great gift it'll be for you to get your /6 home after that amazing journey!

So f-ing cool! Can't wait to see it in person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Kent and Jim should start a show on the MotorTrend channel. I'd sure watch that one!

Michael that NOS nose panel looks so much better on your car than when it was hanging in my garage for years.

I can't think of a more fitting final home for it; the results are really excellent.

Congratulations.

What an effort. Great job.
