Made me pull some of my favorite 914 articles from the 80's. Here is one that inspired me quite a bit. I have two copies, this is my original worn copy, another is mint condition, ready for framing.

The guy who built it (previous owner) is a friend of mine. He also built a yellow Mini Cooper with 914 running gear and rear suspension, and a very fast 914-6 3 liter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) The red car got a new nose a few years ago after a traffic boo-boo. Attached image(s)

I was soo bummed when they switched to European Car. I just got my collection back from Aaron; I had to show him how we old folks had to get our information before the internet.

You used to see adds for real GT parts also. Flares Steel for $400 all four, real GT decklids etc.... I need to see if I can dig up one of the old adds from back in the day. When GT parts where cheap and I did not have the money to pull it off. Stephen

No kidding....one of the articles that I remember was the conversion that they did on a white one that included 911 mirrors. First time I remember seeing that mod. I had a white '76 2.0 at that time and started dreaming then about building a -6. I could barely keep my 914 on the road then so buying some of those parts was well beyond my means at the time. Slowly over the years however, I have collected a pretty good stash of parts so I hope to finally get going on mine soon.

Man how time flies.

Stephan, do you recall who was the supplier? I can check the mags I have handy right now. Scanner is all fired up. I remember when Troutman in Costa Mesa sold Chrome door handles for $120...... FOR BOTH! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

I just remeber seeing the ad from the mid 80s and thinking Damn thats where Jon got all his parts. Mr. Lowe also beat me out of a set of 916 rear rotors, from Vertex if I remeber correcly @ $49.00 apiece. Doah!!!!!!!!! Can't complain Jon hooked me up with some good stuff over the years (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) good guy good friend sad to see he is now outta the 914 world an Porsches for that matter.
