Full Version: 1972 914 professional body job
1972 Porsche 914. Complete body inside/out medial blasted with walnut shell. Rust removed/replaced with new panels/metal. Underneath completely restored/recovered. The body work and paint were done by a professional body shop. New Mother of Pearl white paint job(approximately one year on the paint job), New tires(approximately 3kmiles on the tires), New headlights, new carpet, new stereo/speakers, new brake pads, new calipers, new rotors, new brake lines, new brake master cylinder, bumpers re-chromed, new shocks/struts, new suspension bushings. Original 1.7l engine with new pistons/rings/cylinders. New oil seals on engine and transmission. Original tail shift 5 speed manual transmission with new clutch.

New sound insulation material on firewall in engine compartment. New alternator. This is a great car. I used it as a daily driver for over 1/2 year. This car has been VERY reliable. Interior is fine for being over 41 years old. Original seats with some minor re-upholstery work on center pads. Outlining vinyl of seat has some tears and holes. three small cracks in Dashboard. Clean car. VERY fun to drive. Since the engine is mid mounted it handles corners exceptionally well. Not sure of the actual mileage.

The hell hole was rebuilt, Engmann stiffeners have been added. New Longs. new stainless fuel lines. Relocated front fuel pump upgrade. I converted the windshield wiper washer to an electric motor. This car is not perfect, but it is very nice. email me for pictures. call me with further questions. James 970.317.0894Click to view attachment

Picture was taken spring of this year. I bought the car with the body work already completed and just needing the wiring terminated and engine and tranny installed. And a few other odds and ends. I'm not real good on the hood, door type alignment adjustments. All I wanted was to get it to a daily driver status and achieved that and just enjoyed the rides.
