It´s almost one year since I bought my 914, and a bit of progress has been done.
First a total dismantling of the entire car. then it was sent to a chemical dip in Stuttgart, Germany, it revealed a very sound body with only a few issues to solve.
The car was then delivered to the body shop, where the GT flares, fitment of the front and rear fiber bumper, front and rear fiber hoods, cut-outs for oil tank and cooler replacement of the rear trunk plate, rear floor pans and the front bottom with new ones.
The reinforcement of the body is almost done, next up is the new engine mount for the 2.2T rebuild engine, and sometime soon, it will be ready for paint, Phoenix-Red.

Very nice looking car and progress. Keep up the good work and of course, keep posting pictures for all of us to enjoy.

I´ll keep you posted...

Hej hej och välkommen!

With in the next couple of days, the car is ready for some color.
Now, original the car was born in Phoenix-Red, and I´m thinking another orig. 914 color?
Or should I stick with it?

In a couple of weeks, the entire body should be ready from the paint-shop.
The Saturn-Gelb is pretty eye-catchy...
The "GT-pull" headlight system is almost in and the brackets for the shoulder harness is waiting to be bolted in as well.
Next up, is the undercarriage that need to be restored.

I feel a very nice 914 build is on the horizon.

looking good 1
I am trying to decide if I should keep the stock color on one of mine, it is also Phoenix-red. If you are going for resale value keep it original, but if you are building a keeper - and it sure looks like it - paint it what ever color you like.

Long time, no see....
The entire car is painted, and ready for assembly..
But due two other projects, this one will have to wait until fall/winther.
I will see to, that the entire undercarriage are fully renovated and ready to go in, when times come, and the gauges will be send to NHS for a refurb and customizing...

looks fantastic

Thanks Jimitro...
It´s is really good looking, even the balsa re-inforced front and rear hood looks good...

Looks terrific

Almost a year, since my last report... So here are an update.
I moved my garage and got a bigger place so I could have the cars together with enough room to work around them without trouble.
So while I got that place sorted out, I stored the body-shell at a good friends place..
This weekend, it finally was moved to my place, that was great seeing it again.
I hope that I can start on it, next winter, as I got 2 other projects that I need to attend to..Click to view attachment

Looks great....and I'd like to know more about the Z project.

Yellow cars are faster..........................
