Really changes the look of the car. In my little pea brain, a 914 needs the black vinyl to look proper. Yeah, yeah, I know- a lot of 914's came from the factory w/o the vinyl. beerchug.gif


I agree!

And nice build!

You guys really rock. I know it is more work than it looks but when you show an oval led hole disappear into ivory white roundness. Well, it looks really sharp.

Glenn can you comment on where Bill had his belts and the new labels made. They look fantastic.

I got the actual webbing from @aturboman but Snake Oyl did the labels and the rest of the work. In hind sight, I should have had the mounting hardware re-plated; but as Glenn said “you will only notice when you vacuum behind the seats.”

Glenn I don't have a spare but I have an original antenna bracket that attaches to
the factory hole on the pinch weld of the drivers inner fender.
You might want to copy ?

Glenn sent me some progress pics of the rear suspension starting to be installed. I am digging the white black contrast. Makes me glad we choose not to do a dark undercoat on the wheel wells and the floorpan bottom. I may regret that decision on wash days.

isn't the slot in the rear suspension console to adjust the suspension height? (LOL)

I am sure this will cause some flames but I prefer to make my own judgements about products available for our 914s. I spoke with @UROpartsman (Drew) about their 914/6 HD engine mount, he went on talking about some of their other offerings. Long story short Drew send a box of parts and I must say I was impressed. The fit and finish of the parts I have installed is very nice. The speaker grill and bright work pieces were the most impressive.

Your entire build is looking great. Attention to detail and regular progress; two great traits.

I remember being at the exact stage you're at on the solid mounts. (Except yours looks nicer!) You might want to 'depaint' the area for the trans ground strap when that step comes. Easily overlooked, but I get the impression you knew this already!

Keep up the great work. It's an inspiration for sure.
