After cleaning up "pickle", went to show her to Joe Sayre at his head shop in beautiful Fells Point here in Bawlmer...perfect backdrop for a 1970 car!

Next time i go to the head shop I'll take a picture

Beautiful car, what color is that?

Actual Mack Truck Green...no kidding. Just finished claying, paint cleaning, polishing and then waxing. Put about 12 hours into shining her up. Got her almost exactly a year ago and it's the first time I did anything to the finish. Since she's garage kept, some detailing spray will keep her looking good for a very long time...maybe wax once a year. Hopefully never actually get a bath.

ooo, shiny!

Good looking 914 Ken. I like green cars! The gold BBS' add some nice contrast.

Do you know how good that would look with a tan interior??

If I may suggest? Paint the jack tube covers green too.

That, sir, is one helluva wax and polish!

Why not gold?


[color=#006600]

Car was painted in 1989 and sat for twenty years. I used Griots Speed Shine and clay first...then Meguiar's Paint Cleaning and then Meguiar's Polish. Then I finished it with Griot's Best of Show liquid carnuba. I know others will have different product opinions but the thing really pops!

One man's gold is another man's tan? Oh, yea groovy shop Joe!

Hey man did you score any weed?

That picture is a classic!!

Nice wheels!

Man that is one Bitchin' Groovy car! Very beautiful!

Ken , you are without a doubt , a man that loves his car . Glad to see you got a lot of the PO issues sorted out. It has to feel good knowing that your efforts has payed back with a great looking 914. Keep em rollin !!!!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't tell you how satisfying it is knowing I did all that "hard" work. Couldn't have done it without this group. Rebuilt those webers and they run sooooo nicely. Rebuilt the front suspension and did it correctly! Ironed out all of those electrical gremlins. All of these seemed impossible, but with the encouragement of ya'll and great direction she's purring! The recent four wheel alignment (Gennady from GT Performance...fanatical IMSA 911 racer with a big team of three cars) is incredible!!! Check out his website.

Has a candy apple,jade...& emerald effect..dig it!!
*primo* the kind

thanks,


a closer look at the windows.... ....

...did i mention a world discount

Dave's not here man.

It's a water pipe, you can't say "bong" here man.....
Sweet ride! I hope I see you oot and aboot hon.....

World discount!

I need some new glass.

Don't do bongs .... water is nasty to drink when you get thirsty but oh man does it make you forget you were thirsty in the first place.

Pomona Valley Purple .. The One Hit Wonder!

I hate to toss some harsh shit, hot_shoe, but you must be young. Everybody knows you can't use bitchin' as a modifier for groovy. It's one or the other. Sheesh, kids these days.

Like a man who knows his town. How's bout dem Os ?

Yeah, how's bout dem Os, hon ? They swept the Red Sox and the Nationals. If they could do that to the Yankees, I wouldn't care about any other wins or losses for the rest of the season.

Unlikely.

Yup, a very young 50. I thought a 70's phrase would be fitting in a 70s flashback thread. Screw it all, pass the bon....errr water pipe.

Alright boys.....back to the original thought......Here's my car at a dairy bar that dates back to the 60's.......It looks soooo small next to the full size Toyota....

Many years ago a musician "friend of mine" coined the term "Brylcreem" that had the slogan "a little dab will do ya"

Here we go!

Dude, you can put your weed in there

Took another pic at a head shop today, I'll post soon...
If I'm awake

Great pics! Your cars look amazing!
It really is crazy how tiny our cars are compared to the monsters that are on the streets today!

Nice one Ken...! I haven't logged onto 914 world for a while, but I remember trying to help get you through your electrical gremlins a while ago - fantastic that it's sorting itself out and my god does it look good!

Thats a lot of spit and polish!

Yep...elec. gremlins are gone (for now, right?). Thanks for your help.

Ken, You must now name your car "Green Bud".

Nah...the best buds are actually a nice reddish brown...I digress...what were you saying?

Or Purple

At work, so no new head shop pic yet.
It's not as good as the last one anyway.

Hey Ken,

my kids just stopped by the shop, and your picture is the screen saver on my office PC. My daughter just copied it perfectly

Zach

Honored...truly!
