Houndstooth all the way.

Got back from vacation at noon. At 3 I drove it.it's still learning but it's pretty crisp. Rich's boxster brakes are killer. Stay tuned. Alot happenING this week

Those houndstooth seats are perfect. Like the lights too. Sent you a PM.

Wrapping is happenin! It's really starting to look good. Got the wheel and quick connect hub installed and my shifter boot. Should be finished up tomorrow so I can start putting it back together

Fastest...build....ever.....

And it's pretty much a full-on resto. Nice work Erik .

LOVE the "wrap"

Awesome!

Great work, fast and looking good! Only one complaint- my neck is getting sore from the sideways angles of your pictures!

Well, its a WRAP! Here are some pics of John and his helper from Wolf Vinyl doing their thing as well as my buddy Tony Gomes fro Tri-Valley Auto Glass and Upholstery stabbing the windshield. Finally some color shots out in the sun too!

Here are a few more! Now with black bullet-style mirrors

Fantastic. Can't wait to see it out at a local event soon.

Wow, that looks really nice. If you don't mind can you give us an idea what it cost to wrap a tiny little 914?

Nailed it !

Thanks guys! The wrap depends alot on material choice. The vinyl for mine was like $600. Figure on $1500-$2000 in labor. It took John and a helper two 8 hour days and then John another 12hour day to finish it.

Those mirrors are WAY cool too

The mirrors work on the car and look awesome. You can't see shit out of them though...I am going to add some convex stick on mirrors in hopes that that gives me some visibility, especially for the track.

You make me

How in the hell did you get this all done so fast . We really have rules here about how long this stuff takes. That looks like at least 18 months to me. Damned if I can remember ever even seeing it on jackstands

Really amazed at the amount you accomplished in such a short time. Nice job doesn't do it justice. Great work & speedy too

If you are always in front you don't need no stinkin mirrors

Thanks man! I took delivery in May, so a couple of months of thrashing every day/night, plus I had one of my guys come work at the house for about 3 weeks, so that helped. I still have a bunch to do to it, but at least it looks like a car again and its damned fun to drive.
I get a little OCD when I get a project rolling, and patience is not one of my virtues.

Well it was 100degrees here today so I stress tested the car in stop and go traffic. EFI read 207 gauges read 190 max on the cool side. I couldn't be happier!
A I got a new iPhone 6+. So my pics should be better.

:toke:WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Here's a wanna be ..........

Got the altitude adjusted today after I got some shorter rear springs. Now I have adjustment! Set up the elephant racing bump steer kit and she's ready for alignment

This is also a test of the iPhone photo upload. Hopefully the pic is correctly oriented

Great job on the build!

Thanks! Mepstein you are in my old hood. Born and raised in Newark. Went toUofD

you are so the man.
That wrap is a wrap .

Damn, that was fast indeed, congratulations!

Now you're going to have to take it all apart and put it up on jack stands if you're going to fit in around here

Wow less than 3mos! Congratulation and Good Job! Beautiful Beast!

Thanks guys, still lots of work to do, but its turning out pretty nice. I have to keep reminding myself that many of the body parts are race fiberglass, so stuff just doesn't fit as well as I would like. But I am getting used to it.

I did wake up in the middle of the night with a an idea for a better personalized plate..and it was available...

BADPNNY

Super cute!!! And a 40lb savings on the nose of the car!!

Ok I give up. The first pic from the iPhone posted with the correct orientation. This one is sideways again

Got my door panels back from Tony today. I used the 914rubber.com fiberglass kit but used the vinyl that we put on the dash for the top and threw in the double stitch to pull it all together

Looks great. I have to check out these new fangled batteries.

Regarding your pics, if you have the images on your computer, rotate them in Preview if on a Mac or in a free editor like Gimp or Irfanview if on a PC.

If your images are still on your iphone, try this:
1. bring up the image
2. click Edit on the upper right
3. click the crop/rotate symbol on the bottom left (next to Cancel)
4. click the rotate button above Cancel to turn the image to the proper orientation
5. click Done

I know how to rotate images. And I don't take pics with the phone rotated. They are correctly oriented on my phone and when I post to Instagram or Facebook. Also when emailed. That's why it's so frustrating only seems to happen on this site

Also if you click on my sideways image it opens correctly oriented

Well I put about 100 miles on the car this weekend, mostly with my 3-year old daughter in the car seat next to me, so that was cool. The car did, of course, break on me, about 1/4 mile from the house. After 2 hours of messing with it, I discovered that the set screw for the adjustable rotor (that you have to run with the MSD/Timing Control) had vibrated loose. I guess 15 degrees ATDC is no bueno for starting...Got that fixed and to the house, disassemble and re-assembled with loctite and now I just need to retime it. I also got my Patrick Motorsports rear valence panel so I need to fit that, cut some holes for the exhaust and wrap it before install. It really finishes the rear of the car.

My wife and I lived in Newark for about 10 years and both went to UD. We still work in Newark but live just over the border in PA.

914's are a rare sight around here.

Wow..............that coppertone stitching on the door panels

Just trying to help you sort out the problem ... you won't be frustrated if you follow the simple guide below. Or don't, no skin off my nose.

Thanks Dave. I typically shoot with the phone as shown in example 3. Which is apparently incorrect. And yet it works sometimes, and still only has an issue on this forum. I am no less confused about the issue but I'll try it as shown in example 1 and see if it's consistently cool

WOW nice!!

Got the rear valence on and wrapped last night. Did the exhaust tips too. Trying the correct photo method per dave

Heading here tomorrow. Ronnie is a buddy and he gets around 100 cars there. It's a good time. Come on out!Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

Looks cool, I will make it out.

Any euro cars show up?

Some. But now that I have one I hope to get more there

Thanks Matt, Dave(hope I got that right) and Pam for coming out. Hope you had fun!
