So this is it in Red.
I like the Semi Metallic above, but I'm not that kind of painter. It will depend on budget.

The good news is my Wife is onboard. She wants it to be nice too.
The conversation went like this...

He: It costs about 600 for the hood.
But I can fix this one."
She: "well, we want it to look good..."
He: "oh my heart, this is the big one"
She: "that's just not your forte"

That red one is another LS swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm pretty sure it has a boxster 6 speed in it.

I would reconsider painting it red (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Andrew, I didn't realize due to the cryptic screen name that this was your dad. This should go back to looking just the way it was. Red or orange, doesn't matter. That car is insane!

My '73 is Tornado, and Tornado can look great—but for this car I would be sorely tempted to do Salsa Red from the (second?) New Beetle (also seen on Golfs and Jettas of the late 2000s and early 2010s, I think). Just a great, great red. Slightly darker/blood red that shreds Porsche's Carmine Red and GTS Red (as well as Ferrari's various darker reds). Every time I see one across the freeway, I stare. It registers as a red but an intensely rich one.

Love the idea of this car reincarnated in red. And that bodywork will definitely lend itself to red paint. I suspect Ultraviolet from the 991.1 GT3 RS might also be great, as would Aubergine. Not sure why, but there you go...

My new vote is for drug dealer green metal flake. Heavy 1070's disco speed boat metal flake.

You will be unique and the only 914 ever painted this color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Hell, put some 26" dubs on it too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
