Full Version: Ivory 1970 914/6 Build
I know people either love or hate the roll bar vinyl, but for me a 914 has to have it. It's a signature piece.

With this white car it really looks nice, the black and white contrast is stunning IMHO
We received these great extra long visor end mountings. They are all metal so they should not loosen up like the stock units.

Installing the air system starts with the fresh air intake box and fan assembly. I lay down a sheet of duct tape to protect the paint, also helps fan linkage to slide in.

Good idea protecting the paint with duct tape. Looking great!

Thanks, getting the box in can be a challenge.
Nice work, as always Glenn!
I may have missed this but have you done hood gaps yet - specifically the adjustment of the hinge relative to the hood height where it meets the cowl?

I believe the body shop did the hood, lids and door installation.
@Targa70 can you answer that?
Yes, Eurofinish of Virginia Beach mounted all kids and doors after completing the paint.
@Cracker this has become one of the most useful tools i have...Thanks again

Hi Glenn,
What shift rod are you using? I had Rory make one for my 70 with the side shift conversion.

Hi Greg,
I am not sure who made this custom linkage, I will take a picture of the rear linkage piece when I have a chance.
