Looks like the rear valance would be a project if you planned on keeping that muffler / exhaust tip set up.

I agree with the crowd. Very sharp set up. Gets my vote!

My rather.... crispy parts car (engine donor!) has that same exhaust setup, and the PO has absolutely mangled what looked to be a decent rear valance to make it work.



The last time that I saw a 4 tip exhaust like yours it was on my 1971 vw microbus.

I could imagine some fiberglass spoiler type of rear valances that might work but not the oem steel one. A muffler & tail pipe swap might be easier.

Whatever you do I am sure that it will look nice as your work so far looks top notch.
Good luck.

I have that exhaust and a stock valance and it works fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

JMKnight,
Looks nice! The 'original' sixes are now worth big bucks. Keep it stock!


Ok I will. I have the urge to change it out of my system now, took a while though.

Got the parts car home on the weekend. What an absolute shame, it was a 3 day old resto.

Luckily the firewall did its job and everything behind the passenger compartment is fine, with the exception of the rain tray.

Yikes. Fire damage? Usually they occur in the engine compartment. What happened?

Apparently it was vandalism... I guess the guy who owned the shop which did most of the resto work had upset a few local people. This is the story I'm getting at least.

After I've stripped it I'm going to give it to Mike at Mike's 914s, the rear end of this thing is perfect and I'm sure he can use it to save another 914.

Been a while since I've posted in this thread.

Here's the old 'BB' the morning of it's inaugural journey with the new drive train. Took this shot just prior to leaving for the Lake Havasu 2012 Route-66 Run.

It's a '75 with '71 bumpers, ATS wheels with Michelin 195/60x15s, new calipers and M/C, S/S fuel lines, fresh Type-4-Unleashed 2056 with Weber 40IDFs and CSP throttle linkage, VJR4-BR8 dizzy with Pertronix, mated to a freshly rebuilt THOMAS transaxle, SSI H/Es and a Triad muffler.

Changed the interior from black to tan

It ran pretty good on it's 'maiden voyage', but still needs a little fine-tuning jetting work on the carbs and the front suspension rebuilt.
