Joel has decided to sell Sweat Pea. the pea was created by Jerry M, a member here. Joel bought the car and we finished the details. we used lock washers, locktite and all the stuff that makes a car stay together. no duct tape, chewing gum or improvised fasteners. proper fasteners is my pet peeve/ fetish

how do yous guys add long strings of images here? I can only get 2 at a time.

just add fuel. you dont even have to wax it for a long time.

drives better than a new 914. Dr Porsche would be proud.

I should have wiped down the belly gear before I took the pics.
no hell in this hole

Morph, Whitesell, Stone, camp914!

green!

I need to stop looking at this car. Stop...looking...must...resist...

Seriously, this highly modded greenie is cool as hell!!!

Paul

Can you show a closeup of the dash? I'm curious exactly how the color matching looks close up.

Thanks,

Paul

Nice!

Maybe it should go to Sweden to me.... to me
Anyone know how to arrange the fright to Sweden ?
Is it the original colour ?


Niklas

Yes original...
No Sweden!!!
Just kidding...

Paul

this is the original color, l63k willow green.
non appearance group 914s had body color bumpers and no sail panel trim

i am installing new retractable seat belts with inertia reels

there is no such thing as a 100% rust free 40 year old car but The sweet Pea is about as rust free as you can find anywhere

this image shows some surface rust. i have been thinking about finishing off this area if it does not sell. more green i think. i just dont want to disassemble since everything is so dialed in.

it takes less time to assemble than it does to dial in the details that make for a great driving experience

the red stuff is 3m flange sealant. it follows the expansion and contraction difference between steel and aluminum. stays soft but impervious to automotive fluids. very expensive but never leaks

I'd say the car is rust free.

Paul

rust free. if you buy the Pea, I will not charge you for that rust, it's included free

Rear brakes and rotors? 914-6 style?

Paul

early 914 hubs drilled for 5 lug. close up in post #9

various car shows

international auto show porsche display in san diego

Morph in the vendor section made teh RS door panels and teh speaker pods. i think Mark whitesell of 914rubber.com sells his stuff now. 914rubber.com provided teh rubber seals

i promise to wipe the drool marks off before you buy it. i store it on my lift just to keep me honest.

its official, i have joined the 21st century

Hey Sean, I didn't see a price... how many green backs for the Sweet Pea?

19995, it's in the original post.

Paul

price drop
how much would it cost to build?
how long would it take to build?
how long will it take you to sort it out to where you could jump in and drive a few days away from home in confidence.
san diego to sturgis, hmmm...

$18,7

5 quarts of fresh Brad Penn

WOW , Al Great 914...have fun with it..Jeff

Congrats, Al. Maybe, just maybe, I can stop thinking about this car now!

Paul

Jeff,
This is going to be nothing but fun. i'll see you on the road.

Sean and Paul,
I could not get this 914 out of my head either and the more of them that I looked at, and I looked at some very tasty cars.....this one stood out. It looks right to my eye and it is apparent that the caretakers were committed to making it a beautiful, solid 914. I'm looking forward to meeting up w/Joel in San Diego and then heading up the coast. What could be better?

This is my first 914, but i have been a 911 owner for many years and participate quite a bit on the Pelican Parts (al lkosmal), Early S (xfaktory) and RGruppe forums. I look forward to going down that slippery slope with this one, learning from the collected knowledge/wisdom of the 914 World, and eventually contributing.

regards,
Al

PS: here's a link to my YouTube Channel..it will show you some of my projects, etc.
