This is a car I've had for 7 years now. I bought it to fix up and play with as in the 80's I really wanted one. But the kit was $5000!

More than I paid for my pristine 73 Appearance Group 2.0.

So after letting it sit for way too long I pulled it out did the brakes and got it running.
James helped me to rebuild the front end and it was quite a job. Even to get it to the point I sent it to James we had to have some panels aligned as the original installer did a sub par job on some of it.

My nephew needed a senior class project and talked me into letting him play with the car.

He just shot it tonight. I was impressed with the work even in primer.

I think he's hooked now.

Got it back from James

done

Gonna see what these look like on it.
There was a member here that mounted these on his. I feel that if, I'm going this far away from stock, might as well throw some more fuel on the fire!

Like that car. I like the pop ups but looks pretty sweet!

Looks great!! What color?

I'm not 100% sure It was supposed to be a bright orange. It's bright alright. But in the booth looks more like Ferrari Red.

Props to you for letting him work and play with the car!

Looks great!

Which one are you Crockett or Tubbs?

Seriously, looks amazing Mark!

I had one of those 914s on consignment many years ago. It was constructed in California, purchased by one of Dan Hanna's sons.
I took it to the Portland swap meet. A rather large fellow fell in love with the car and had to have it. He ended up trading me a 25 bucket T hot rod, which had its own trailer. I ended up selling the T to a fellow who drove up from Sacramento, on one of Oregons wettest days, he hooked it up and took off.

Not sure why....but seeing the Dollar Store and HF store in the background made me chuckle a little bit

Looks a bit more red than Hugger orange. Maybe Guards Red?

Here is the hugger orange still in my garage drying


And here it is in various lights
