Put that thing away! It's too nice to drive now.

Can't believe it's pretty much DONE! Nice work.

It's " Dude...I Wish that was my 914"

They should invite that sexy car to Pebble Beach.

Wow..Congratulations...How did it Feel after all that work to drive it the First Time ??

Thanks everyone!!!

My first drive was a bit of a blur. Yesterday's drive set in better and drove it home the long way today and got a better feel for it and was able to take in the moment. Of course it started to sprinkle but I didn't care. Just kept driving until the running lights went out but signals and brakes were still working. still have some electrical bugs.

Where is the full/low points on the -6 dip stick? 9 quarts in and still not hitting the stick. I'm happy with the ride height on the car, What do you guy's think??

Congratulations!!! Car is amazing!! Looks like it belongs on the showroom floor with the original window sticker in it.

With your system, it should hold about 13 quarts (volume of lines, oil cooler). I start with 8 and generally wind up putting 10 in which shows about 1 quart low on the 911 dip stick with my system.

Keep it up to temp and add a few more quarts. Check the stick after each addition. On the "real" six I think there is just a bump or hole for full.

Andy, my new OE dipstick has an indent, then about 1/4 inch after the indent it has a line with "max" written. My OE six dipstick is somewhere in a box with old parts, but I don't think it had a line or "max" written on it IIRC. I have a 2.2L with stock oil lines. I take 9.5 quarts to hit right at the "max" line.

Sounds like you need to add & check to fill your system. Remember to keep track of how many quarts you add!

not posted in a bit but I've been pluggin away, got the new handles on, heat shield on firewall, wraped up the fuse pannel and cleaned up the engine wiring and installed the air filters

A big thanks to Glenn for relay board #2, Headlights working, turn signal dissection and fixed, Blacked out the front nose behind bumper, A/B pillars, rollbar pad, seats and belts in. It's getting very close and gave the car a final polish. More this weekend

Took it for a 60 + mile run yesterday and she's running sweet. 993 pulled up next to me in Seal Beach and we burned some gas and a little rubber on PCH... What a blast

Tonight's project includes fumes from 3M adheisive I was able to use one complete piece working in sections and some heat. Hope to finish the interior this weekend and then make some fine tuning on the head light gaps. The whole weekend is getting it finished and ready for San Marino and a little

Making some progress...very nice. I only wish I had the patience to do what you've accomplished.
Congrats!

Excellent! Your car is looking perfect.

for those that may not visit the WTB forum, I'm looking for 8 of these for my roll bar pad. PM me if you got some

Thanks in advance!!!

That back pad looks awesome, what & where'd you get it ????

Car looks great Andy !!

Thanks, First 914 I saw with perlon on the fire wall was in MoveQik's Six conversion so I followed his lead. Bought the carpet I wanted from a local upholstery shop and #2 3M spray adhesive from Pepboy's. Fabric is a bit stretchy that helped to form it in but thick enough that the silver on the sound mat won't show thru.

putting my H3 driving lights back together after paint. I figured they were a better choice than the standard fogs.

The back pad turned out great Andy!

Andy,

I'm probably way outside my lane here, but a thought.

Those look a lot like the plugs that cover screw heads on office chairs.

Clint

I don't think office chair caps wont have the correct texture to match.

more items off the checklist. Thanks to 914 rubber and Bruce, door stays work great and not to bad to assemble, Ouch!!! use a vice when installing the springs. Sills installed, welting on engine lid, sun visors and more

And I did get a drive in

Incredible Andy! Long time a coming & totally worth it. Love it man

SEX-EEE!! Great job!

Well other than a few small item the car is done and time to close out this thread.

Going to miss this Build thread..Your Six Really turned out NICE..I wish I made it to San Marino..914- Take Care,Alan

Trophy worth build for sure...I'll use it as a reference to how "not-done" mine is and what I can aspire to.

Inspirational Andy. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and inviting all of us to see your six transformed into a work of art. I'll miss your thread.

Thanks guy's

Yes I'm planning on being in Moab

Congrats on the build...gotta feel good! Looks pretty freakin awesome.

I'm way impressed with this build. From what you started with to what you finished with. Amazing work!

Time to set the ride height and get a performance alignment.

"Epic Build Andy!"

I think you need to post a before/after image here to wrap this up ...

WELL done sir. with SirAndy. We need a "before/after" pronto.

Thanks Again guy's!!!!!!!

I do plan to get the four wheel align and lower the rear ride height to remove the rake. Before and after as requested.

Wow!

Great work! Time to enjoy it.

I still don't understand why you got rid of the purple tint on the back window.....
