Armando Serrano just posted the pictorial of the conversion I am having done. Just about no stone left unturned in making this an EXACT reproduction using a really nice original 914/6. When it is done it will be concours quality, but, will be a driver as far as I am concerned! Have a look:

Very cool! Great job, Pete!

What engine, gearbox are you going to use?

What are the lights in the front bumper? Where did you find them?

Where did you get the plates to go around the front hood pins? Stainless or aluminum?

I saw that, congratulations.

I'm not going nearly as upscale as what you achieved, especially in terms of original parts used, but I hope to have something that looks almost as good. See link below.

Ken, Here is the engine...2.66L short stroke, 92mm RSR Mahle P/C...twin plug, 911R intakes and 46 Webers, The lights inside the bumper are the rare Cibie 911 hood mounted versions...the backs actually had to be cut off to fit them in them bumper...outside the bumper are Cibie 45's, 7" in diameter and about 1.5" deep...
Hood pins and plates were all mad by the restorer.

Where did you happen to source the rubber floormats? I will be needing some of those eventually.

Michael...I have been keeping an eye on your build, love to watch the progress...I have neither the ability or the skills that you have...

Garold, Some of your parts are in this car...I believe the rear sway bar? I will be showing it at a couple of events in the area. And will certainly be blasting it at track days...or DE days.

Britain, I don't know where the mats came from...I know the whole floor has got them glued in? I can find out when I talk to him again. By the way I like the look of the 5 gauge cluster.

Vortex, Mark Allin of Precision Automotive Restoration in MA is doing ALL of the work...he restored the Lufthansa car...funny when I was there at his shop he also had a real 917, a real 908, two 289 Cobras, a GullWing and a few other cars...couple of million dollars in inventory for work!

That car is smokin' hot. Excellent job by the builder.

Britain, I've seen the material you're looking for at Ace Hardware, believe it or not. Comes in a roll at about $2.99 a yard. It's wide enough that about three yards should take care of a 914 interior. I'm gonna use it in my car. If you can't find it locally I'll buy some put it in my car and shoot photos to see if it is to your liking.

Later,

BJ

Thank you, but I often feel that I'm butchering more than anything else.
Your car is truly marvelous, especially the engine.
What are you using for seats, and fan shroud on the engine?

That's not 'Yet anoter GT conversion', that's a masterpiece.

Congrats Pete. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
