Truly a long, strange trip its been. Congratulations on staying with your car Mike. Most people, myself included, would have hung it up a long time ago. Many, many ups and downs, but in the end, victory. If you find another six, and you need our help in restoring it, I promise you it won’t take 10 years. Ya done good!

Thank you Jim that means a lot. The skills you and your team have are beyond comparison in my experience. The best part though is, don't take my word, let the finished car speak for itself. It is a beauty. Once I get the time, hopefully this coming weekend, I will get it up on the lift and shoot some pictures of the underside for everyone to see.

OK- My Six is finished and it is beautiful (I might be slightly biased) and I love it. Jim ( @banananose914 ) Kent ( @914350 ), Andy ( @Socalandy ) and Bob, (or the Justice League as I affectionately named them) did a great job. This car looks better than new and drives like new.


Enjoy the photos guys and thanks for all of the support as I experienced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I can't believe it has been 10 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Michael I thought it was in your kitchen when I first looked at this pic!
Then I realized no one has a big screen in their kitchen, or do they? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
What a garage to welcome your car home to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Congrats to the man with the patience of a saint.

Driving Vid would be cool.
Time to enjoy it! All the best! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Had the car up on the left today so I snapped a couple of what turned out to be poor belly shots. Tomorrow I will take some better underneath shots.

Details on the front struts and tie rod ends, or the page number please.
Driving impressions?

I have full motion bearings, 914/6 struts, Alfa calipers, 22mm Tarrett hollow bar, turbo tie rods, 911 hubs, etc.
I'm not quite as low as you and although it's not too bad I do feel a bit of bump steer.

My brother Bob, my cousin Phil and I drove down to Jim's on Saturday and I admit I was anxious to see my car. It has been 10 years and 5 months since I bought it.

We were tickled to hear it start and run, see the gauges working and hear that terrific 3.2 with Ben's ( @mb911 ) beautiful SS heat exchangers and muffler. We took it for a drive and I was not disappointed. It runs strong. It sounds great. It rides great. It looks terrific.

A nice surprise was Oscar ( @[url=http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?

showuser=16669]ValcoOscar[/url] ) showed up at Jim's and he came bearing gifts. Oscar is just a great guy. He gave me a cool 914 hat that was in shades of green, a cool 914 hoodie and 2 914 T-shirts. I don't make out like that Christmas time. Thank you Oscar I am really looking forward to one of your BBQ's where I can bring my car and let everyone get a chance to check it out.

Also Dave ( @blue6 ) was there and he has seen this project progress from the complete mess I delivered to Kent to what I consider to be one of the finest 914-6 in the country. Yeah, that's my opinion. I am sure this is not everyone's cup of tea, but that's OK. It is mine. Thanks for coming over Dave and safe travels my friend.

We put about 40 miles on it and then loaded it into the enclosed car carrier, special thanks to Chris ( @tygaboy ) for hooking me up. After loading it was time to relax for a bit and we cooled off in Jim's pool. We sat around and talked about everyone (of course) and then decided we were refreshed enough to do the 400 mile return trip home. Off we went; the drive home was very easy with very little traffic.

This morning we unloaded the car and returned the trailer to Petaluma with another big thank you to Chris.

I would also like to thank my twin brother and best friend Bob for sharing this whole experience with me. He has been there for the whole thing and I hope he drives this when I throw him the keys and enjoys the way this car runs, rides, handles and looks. I doubt I would have hung in there with this build when the going was rough (pre-LA) without his support.

Enjoy the photos guys and thanks for all of the support as I experienced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I can't believe it has been 10 years. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

















Damn that trailer looks familiar? I suspect many of us on 914World have been transported by that trailer. Many thanks to tygaboy.

OK, the Xpel clear-bra (PPF) was installed today by J&E Car Care, Inc. Juan and Ezequiel (brothers). They have done probably 6 or 7 of my cars now and they do great work.

I added their business card into the post in the event anyone is considering a clear-bra. I have no affiliation with them other than as a repeat customer.

Good call Michael! I’m getting X-Pel applied to my car as well on Wednesday down here in SoCal. Will be using the company that does the work for Singer Automotive.


Now go for a drive!

If either of you get a chance, I'd love to see a pic of that side by side with an untreated panel in good sunlight. I'm just curious how close to that original shine it comes. Looks pretty impressive from what I'm seeing here. Now time to drive!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
