There's some bigger pictures in the track cars thread in the paddock. It's easy to see the hammered parts there.

pics are decieving, I'd say about 1% of us are actually "rich"... the rest of us are just car guys who spend what we can, when we can how we can afford to... we do the labor ourself and get friends to help... that's part of what makes these cars so great, anyone can have one and enjoy it...

case in point: in this pic my car looks good... (this is when I picked the car up...

that was 3 years ago, the car is still not 100% complete... partially because I can't get my mechanic/welder/builder(me) to stop doing other stuff...

Have you seen my teener?
http://www.icbm.org/erkson/personal/914-73index.htm

It's not much better looking since I took those pictures. In the WCC picture thread you can see pictures of her. Cheap-ass Macco Yellow paint with grey primer. Last winter I was driving around in the city on sunny days with the front hood removed -- that generated some looks!. But she made the +200mile mountain cruise just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Drive 'em if ya got 'em!

I guess I just love this little thing so much that I have a need to hurry up and get it back to beautiful! I think she deserves it, she has lasted since Nov '69 and is holding up well. I didn't know what I had with my first one, this one is gonna go all the way! I guess she has come a long way in the year I have had her, considering her 4 month storage...

ya know full coverage on an older 914 really isnt much more. let me tell you i'm glad we put it on my sons car when a drunk ran a stop and tagged it. it was 0 percent my wifes fault. with insurance coverage check, a cheap parts car and our labor on disasembly/assembly we ended up with a real clean 914. everyones happy and onother 914 lives!
good luck, youll love the car

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

Couldn't agree more. My car also looks nice (up to a certain level of criticism, after which it falls apart!) but is simply the product of a mis-spent youth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) a lot of swap meets, and a lot of late nights working in high school and college. I've done very little to it in the years since then. So it can be done on the cheap with creativity, help from friends, and time, time, and more time.

Just keep whittling away at your car and push past those moments where there are WAY too many parts on the garage floor and it seems like the thing will NEVER hit the road again... you'll get it there -- and then some.

And that might be the best part of owning/building/modifying/driving a 914 -- it flies in the face of current culture by FORCING most of us into a delayed gratification kind of automotive experience. Especially if it's that last point (driving) and you're rolling deep with a tired four-cylinder (like me)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yep, I pulled mine out of a cow pasture where it had been sitting since 1982. Drove it "pasture fresh" for years, you gotta start somewhere! Even the worst 914 on the road is better than a car that was given up on and left for dead. enjoy your car as is and remember that over the years it will suck every penny out of your pocket and probably bankrupt you, but thats ok, its gonna be fuchin' sweet someday!
