Hello I am the new owner of a 1975 914 rolling chassis. This is my 4th Porsche with the other 3 being 911's and a 944S. I am keeping my 83SC and I think I'm turning the 914 into a /6 hot rod. I will have many questions and it looks like this forum is the place to be. I am located in Orlando Fl. I will try to post a pic of the car this weekend sometime. Bye for now..................Rick

From the left to the right, Welcome to the jungle.

you already have a 4 and 6 cyl. cars, put a V8 in the 914!

One of our posters has a 914-6GT replica and lives in Orlando I believe. He'd be a good person to meet to get an idea of what's involved in the conversion. I'd say go for the -6 conversion, it's clean and pretty much a bolt together type of project. I had a couple of 911s over the years, nice comfortable car but not quite the gocart that a 914-6 (or -4) can be.

Best of Luck on the project.

You've come to the right place.

911 sc huh ....... you have a good donar there!!

there are a few others teeners in orlando that can help you i'm sure.

if i can help in any way, let me know!!

OH .... and get us some pics!!

I tried to post a pic but got a message saying file size too large. I'm not a computer weenie so help on posting pics would be appreciated. My SC will never be a donor she's too nice a car.

maybe this will help.

adding pictures to your post

Hey down there!

Well I can't seem to figure out how to resize my pics so let's try a link from another site: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread....threadid=318007

Nice to see you finally got a REAL Porsche this time

Hey you found us. This is the place I talked about in my Pelican reply.

Welcome.

Well day one and I gutted the interior and removed those ugly front and rear bumpers. The car came with 73 style bumpers as part of the deal and those are the ones I will put on the car. The hell hole is solid as are the "longs" there is a little bit of rust thru in the rear trunk floor and rear valance area but the structure is very solid.My main focus will be getting the chassis,suspension,brakes,body up to snuff and then concentrate on engine and tranny. There is a decal on the drivers side pillar is the OEM paint color in that number?

Paint code is stamped into a metal plate located between the drivers door hinges and you can find a color chart here

Come on in and join the insanity!

hello Rick! as a fellow Orlandoan, and 944(n/a) owner it's good to meet you. at least web-wise.
i am in the Lockhart area. i look forward to meeting you in person. .... and if you need help tinkering, i am just a pm away!

Looks like the tag says L110 but from the paint chart maybe the 0 is a D? So the paint code is L11D Berber Yellow? Does Berber Yellow look like the paint color in my pics? And Robin I will take you up on your offer as I don't know 914's at all but I'm going to learn.
