Love it all.. but the knee bar..is a knee bar.. too low.. ouch,, Stay buckled tight

Horn button came from Car-bone via Sierra Madre Collection

Knee bar looks deceptively low in pics because of the custom dash and no lower dash pad at all, there's actually more room than it seems and with the Recaro Pole Positions I even have to scoot forward a bit.

@raynekat the Konigs are already in the garage in my /4
Bought them new in the late 90's, seat monkey not included

I like the black Fuchs. It seems to direct me more to the body lines vs the shiny bling.

Any better pics and info on the fender liners ?
Looks like the rears are on but no fronts?

TIA,

Another + for the wheel choice. Just a timeless look on a 914 with flares.

I agree on the wheels, good choice. I would do the sail panel back to vinyl, but that just me...

Great updates Eric, love those wheels.

I see you're hanging with Jim (Lucky9146)

Hope to see ya soon

Wow, congratulations. Such a beauty. Glad it's getting to stay here, in a happy home.

I love the wheels. But just my $.02... you should paint the dash black. White can reflect sunlight from behind the car.

They're front and rear, I'll try to get better pics, they're pretty neat, simple but effective, there's no undercoating so it keeps most of the pebble/rock noise and impacts to a minimum, also keeps crap from collecting in the tight spots

@ClayPerrine Do you mean the gauge cluster face? Dash is black, gauge cluster face is same as outside of the car, no reflection problems

New wheels look great!

Excellent change on the wheels!!! It is an excekkent 914!!

I meant excellent. I just can't type!!

Who cares about the wheels, I just want a ride in that car! Power to weight.

Charlie

its crazy, every time I drive it I feel as though there's a learning experience to be had

So glad to watch you living the dream!

Be careful hanging out with Jim - Lucky914-6, he's nothing but trouble!!

Finally trimmed out the black roof... was a longer and more involved project than I'd thought it was going to be. Getting the texture right was a PITA.
Ironically by the end of this, the silver roof has actually grown on me, but it's nice to have the option to change up the look from time to time.

New hardware from Bruce Stone, Rubber bits and headliner from 914rubber:

Have the same - Painted roof and stock texture, will be cool to mix-and-match. Doing the same with my deckled and wheels. I like the thought of being able to make small changes.

Looks great!

Way behind the curve on this thread, sorry Eric! Was on a trip to FL and disconnected from technology for the most part for 2 weeks. Nice changes you have been making and I really like the wheel & tire choice, need in person update on them. The car is a beast I remember when you got it and brought it by not long after you got it.

I refinished a roof but the texture was ok so it was a respray that came out great. I think you nailed it on your roof texture. I wanted a choice in roofs too and have since acquired a spare roof, sanded it smooth, filling the rain groves and painted it gloss black. Have yet to final fit it but installed all 914 Rubber seals and headliner too.

Absolutely love the driving picture you posted a few pages back.

Like that your thread is getting the attention it deserves. Stop by anytime.

Looks good......

Incredible car, with an incredible collection of parts, congratulations… I am now your fan..

No one mentioned the McIntosh radio. It all works

Ha! Yes there's that too, it's awesome (with the car off) a bit tough to appreciate with the car on vs the exhaust note!

I probably should throw some updates on this thread as it's been a bit

Roof turned out nice! Reminds me I really need to either redo mine or source one that's in better shape.

Interesting that oil cooler just looks a bit bigger than the stock 914-6GT cooler, but there is no engine cooler. Does it stay nice and cool? Have you done any track racing with it?

What width spacer you running in the front?

what product did you use for the top texture? that seems really close to stock , turned out great.

@DRPHIL914 Wurth SKS along with the special spray gun--"test" the sprayouts on some cardboard or something until you're feeling good about how it's coming out and then go for it on the roof panel--tried to find a pic of the material but google will pull it back--here's the gun:
