hello everyone, I'm relatively new to 914s but have been involved with Porsches for many years. I'm in the process of restoring a 914-6. Overall its a fairly original non-rusty car (it was ziebarted when new). I purchased the car from a gentleman that bought in 1972. I am trying to do the restoration as much back to stock as possible. I was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.
1) what would the original suspension have been on the car and what color were the shocks? 2) Would the car have come with a front sway bar or did the PO add that? 3) The engine is original to the car but at one point the PO tossed the air filter housing. Anyone have a line on where i can find and original air filter housing? Thanks in advance |

Boge front struts and rear shocks were grey Koni would have been orange. Bilstein was never an option. Check to see if struts have been updated to later pin type ball joints. Suspension is satin black.
