Gustl B:
the 914-6 started out life as a regular six, the steel flares where added later on along with the chasis stiffener kit.
External fuel filler ljust ike on the Red 914-8
The engine is a 3.5Li Twin Plug with a 916 trans.
Wheels are Fuchs "8 & 9x15"
Here are some photos.

Rear trans

Engine from bellow

The engine currently does not have an oil cooler it has the C-2 filter, I have a fron toil cooler that was made from a 944 turbo intercooler. The ends where cut off and welded the fittings to wotk with the oil lines. The fit is very tight but it really works well.
I plan to reinstall the engine cooler when I find the time.
I am working on installing a hydrulic hand brake, as used in the vintaged rally cars.

many thanks, looks gorgeous

I bet it goes like hell

Here he is ! Picture was taken after an orientation rallye in november.
During the rallye the day counter stopped working, the brakes locked up, we didn't have enough light (H-1's), the high beam only went on when it really wanted and when it was on I couldn't get to low beam ! We finally ended the rallye after being stuck on his belly for 45 minutes on one of our "tractor trails" in the middle of nowhere. After all ... a great day with the 914 !

By the way it's a 1975 2.0 Carburated coming from the U.S.A.

@Quilmes: that red 914 has the greatest paint job I've ever seen ! Did you do that yourself ?

OUCH!!

will you try to save it?!? what is the vin#? where did it come from? it has a side marker light on it. were they required in oz.?

wheels look nice!!

doug

It's an ex Rhode Island car,must've seen some saltly roads.
Yes it will be saved 914-6's are rare over here.They were never sold here so their all imports mainly from USA.
It was last rego'd in 1982 so it has been sitting a long time,but hopefully the mechanicals haven't done much hard work.
Here's a scarey pic RUST

One more,is this were the long should be?

ouch, you are a brave man.

Hi Jason,
Glad to see more Aussies here

Wow, you have a large project there - Good Luck.
Makes mine look pristine

You going to repair that yourself or get some help?

cheers

GAZ

Hopefully do all the body rust repairs myself,these will help.

Hey Gaz,
Is your 914 LH drive or RH drive?

QUOTE (Jason 914-6 @ Feb 7 2005, 06:16 PM)

Hey Gaz,              Is your 914 LH drive or RH drive?

Mine has been made into a RH driver.
The conversion is not all bad...

Looking at it now and after speaking with some people, I would probably do it myself these days and it would be better but is used to be registered as a RH drive.

I also know a guy that converts 914s to RHD - but it is pricey (he mainly builds race cars). Quality of the job is unmatched.

If you need pics or whatever, give me a yell.

Cheers

GAZ

Thanks Gaz,
If I could get hold of a RH dash shell,I reckon I could figure the rest of it out.I've done a RH conversion on my Chev truck and the 914 looks like it would be a simpler deal.

Jason, you're a brave guy in for a long project. Can't wait to see your progress. Its great that you are restoring it; /6's are so rare. I would do the same if I was in your place good luck.

Can;t let a factory 914-6 die,no matter how bad it looks
If I found another one in the same condition I'd grab it too.not like there still making them

Here's my girl - ain't she purty?

Very nice,got any more pic's

Is that a big dent in the hood or the reflection of something? Nice looking car.

I would say that is the reflection of the palm tree above it.

At the FFC

C'mon Kelly, you know we didn't have weather that nice at the FFC!
I think that was from the MWC.

Oops! Your right.

Very nice
What was the time frame for the job?

It took just a little over 8 months.

the product of 20% delusions of grandeur and 80% sheer boredom

Nice Blue !!!!! What color is that?? I just did azure blue with clearcoat but it is darker than I wanted . Yours looks very BLUE in the sunlight.
Thanks
Dan

It's called Lapis Blue Pearl Metalic a 911 color.

Maltese Falcon's ride

...and a good friend of mine's #40 (real deal) , at the old shop. We did a removeable roll-hoop, so it would meet requirements of a PCA Parade slalom.

"Real deal" like the actual LeMans 914?

Marty,
is that Tom's (Factory Tours Tom) white car?

Sean & Ury914, real deal> N0. 40 LeMans winning 1970 2.0 litre class, and a VERY good overall 24 hour winner too. It was driven by the late factory driver Claude Ballot Lena. Some people do go up to this car at shows and remark on the authenticity of the clone...however it is THE car that historically got Porsche the LeMans victory that year. It should be at the Ventura show in '06 if all goes as planned for the 914 to be the Featured Car
This car was a RARE find and came out of France circa '80s. Sorry, can't elaborate on the price or other details...as it is not my car

Just so you remember, you promised to show me the #40 on my next trip and I FULLY intend to take you up on that.

Joe

#40 is in the movie Le Mans as well. The documentry of the Making of Le Mans, McQueen walks right past it...
