I may have what you need Derek.
I'll have to check my parts car tomorrow.BTW
Nice looking car, I thought greenie and sixnotfour had the market cornered on green cars up here.
Has Greenie figured out that you're partin' his car out??
That IS a good looking car. I hope to meet you at future GTGs.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll send PMs regarding the doors - some promising leads. Wow...hitting a deer is bad in most cars - but in a 914 the deer has the advantage.
I haven't seen the car in bare metal yet, tried to get there today but work got in the way. My car was repainted (outside surfaces only) some time in its past - in a John Deer green. The original color was willow green, so that's why the trunk and door frames are lighter than in the pictures I posted. I'd like the color to be close to the original willow green when it gets re-sprayed (if anything just add a little bit more life to the color).

Today I killed the windshield in the -6
What is the best place to get a new one installed or has someone a windshield which is no longer needed? I plan for the moment to install it with the rubber seal from 914rubber since I plan to do a full restoration soon. Has someone experience with Hagerty, do they usually cover this?

I don't know about glass, but the one claim I've had with Haggerty was outstanding. It was just a small item but they followed up like it was a big deal to them. I've had their coverage for over 20 years and they've always been good to work with.

Mark,
thanks, i will check with them, would prefer to get it installed properly:-) Also pinged Rich, he would have one I can use also in the meantime until I start with the restoration so let's see what I do.

Hey guys! Been forever. My ADD seems to have caught up with me this winter and not much happening with the 914. Time to get back to work on it I'm thinking.
Anyway, I'll be in town next week. Anything going on over there? It'd be good to see you guys and catch up.

I'm in the process of rebushing my rear control arms, and I'll need to take the car to an alignment shop when I'm done - can anyone recommend one that understands 914s?

hope you don't mind if a lurker jumps in. Monty at Redmond European sent me to Truline in b-vue this year when I re-did my suspension. He recommended Omni until I mentioned the corner balance. I was really pleased. they couldn't achieve the front ride height I wanted but called to talk about it and sent pictures.
I just had my daughter's car at Omni (totem lake) and they were real stand up guys. not sure if they don't do corner balancing or why that changed Monty's recommendation.
I'll return to my lurking until a get together lines up well with my schedule. was thinking of joining on the recent XXX plans, and then it rained that nite.

I'm reposting here from a separate thread just to make sure some PNW guys don't miss the notice:
Got a call last night from our friend and 914World member, Garrett Goldsmith. He told me that his doctor tells him that his 20+ year battle with MS is coming to an end and he has begun hospice care at his home.
In keeping with the remarkable, matter-of-fact attitude he's taken to his condition, he and Patricia are inviting his friends to a Going Away Party/Open House starting at Noon on Saturday, March 30.
The address is 1427 Olympic View Dr., Edmonds WA
Garrett is a long time Porsche enthusiast and restorer who has come to revere the 914 and owns a wonderful '74 2.0 survivor. If you are a friend of the 914, you're a friend of Garrett's. Try to swing by and say hi. If you want food or drink, bring your own. This will be a celebration for a great 914 guy. Bring your Porsche if you can.

Divorce over 100%. got all my cars
question for everyone:
I had a beautiful set of BBS wheels that were once on a restored BMW 2002 in the wifes house. perfect condition. size: 6Jx15 HZ. 289 ET33. W/Yokohama 195/50 R15 tires.
got them back.
any way to get them on a 914? - the 4 lug nut holes are too close together to fit. I wondered if there was any way to get it to work without spending big bucks, or should I just try to sell the wheels and tires on Craigs list? (they are basically unused!)
