TIMMARTIN,
Are you runnin studs on those tires? Or do ya got a bunch o' nails in your tire

Here is my wifes Silver 73 2.0:

Brad, is that metallic silver? That was the original color of my car, but the po painted it red. I love those flares

You know, I dont recall what silver that is. I'm pretty sure its stock 73 silver (the car was originally silver before the flair install aprox 8 years ago or so)

She loves it. Drives the wheels off it. She has put more mileage on the 914 than she has on her 1 year old Tahoe.

She wants me to do a V8 conversion in it for her.. I told her only if I could use the new ZO6 engine from the Vette. She used to drive all of the V8 conversion cars I built in the past.

B

thats great you wife likes 914's. My girlfriend can hardly drive my Subaru with manual trans. I have yet to let her get behind the wheel of the 914. Maybe late one night in a HUGE parking lot

Funny, I can say the same about my boyfriend. Not overly enthusiastic about my 914. He's never driven it. I guess he prefers to play with his MR2 turbo... <_<

Thought I'd post a pic of my freshly washed 914 here...in fact the wife washed it while I changed the rims on it....her comment?

"it's about time you got a decent 914 instead of those other pieces of cr@p !!!!"

damn baby...I didn't know you felt that way..LOL

Looks good Mike.

Yeah, looks good, Mike !! And, those wheels looks really nice too.

BTW, I like your garage. Especially I like your hose rack.... ....... LOL

That car looks great with black wheels. I'm just a little jealous.

But, why did you swap the wheels? Re-change your mind again?

Jon

ok, 2 pics here,
first one is in early 2002 (with my girlfriend driving),
the second one is from a few month ago, right after i got the
new roll-cage in. the car is currently being painted (guards-red) ...

Hey Andy. Car is lookin good.

Andy, your car looks great. I wish mine came with a chick who dug it!

She even works on it. She pulled the complete wiring harness out of the car and started to install the new one. She even has her own power tools. :finger2:

B

Hi mike, I like the Black rims. How much do you want for the Rims??
Mike

the 74

Power tools? :cursor:

Tryan,

Nice car. I owned a black 73 back in the early 90's.

Oh.. welcome to the board I noticed you signed up today. Dont be afraid to ask questions.

Thanks to Mike Ginter, here's my favorite photo of my "babies". The car and the youngest daughter.

This was during our drive up the coast on Hwy 1 during the Tour 2000. We were just south of Big Sur with spectacular views of the ocean. It was a great day to be touring and I was having a special time with Meredith. Times like that don't happen often enough.

Carl

Here's 1/2 of mine

one of my 914's and my 911

Damn,

You have been busy. Looks good.

B

yeah its a llte better than when you saw it last.

I'm just happy to see houses that are more than 3 feet apart.

You did a great job Mark. Cant wait to vist.

B

And a great picture it is Carl. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like I missed some good humor the last couple o days. I've been busy and sick, and getting ready for my trip to Florida on Saturday morning.

Come on guys! Member to picture ratio is still a low. Bring 'em on.

Ok ginter. some more photos

WOW,

It cleaned up nice.

B

Thanks Brad

Looks nice Mike, now I'll have to "push" my car out into the driveway and take some better pitures

Mueller,

I was hoping you almost had it running and that's why you've been quiet this week.

I don't have any more pictures of my car with me so here's a picture of my old boss instead.

PS - nice banana!

I've spent a little bit of time on the car this week...the most frustrating was spending an hour to lift the sucker up as high as I could to put on my heavy duty jack-stands to end up having the car too close to the garage door so that it wouldn't shut....

I was half tempted to take my sawzall to the front bumper guards/tips to eliminate the problem..........

But luckly, I calmed down and did the job correctly, LOL

"But luckly, I calmed down and did the job correctly, LOL"

you mean you took the sawzall and cut some pieces out of your garage door?


cheers,

jeroen

A lot of people ask me about that... But really this picture was taken after the tires were first mounted. There were some chalk marks in between the tread.

Although it would be funny to tell everyone i do ice racing and i run studs on my tires.

Getting closer!!

Almost done in the back! Anyone have any fair condition licence plate lites?
Next is the SS heat exch. and factory muffler

Damn.....that car is too nice

Those skis up on the wall would make me nervous

Thanks Jeff Now I'm back to reconsidering silver as the color to paint my car. I think I've pretty much decided on Adriatic Blue. It's pretty and you don't see it too often. The big advantage (IMO) is that it's not a metallic so it should be easier to blend repairs after those off-track excursions.

Jon

One of my favorites from 2002:

A new picture of my ride now that it is running

Looks better than when I had it. However, a "ride" is what you get from someone else because you don't have a license yet. A "ride" is what the bus gives you because you lost your license at the Milpitas side show. Sorry, I don't have a "ride", I have a "car".

Here it is in 1982...

Mueller,

what wheels have you got on it? I can't tell from the pic.
They look sweet.

My white 72 is prolly just arriving in LA as I write this. I've got some 16x6 fuchs going on this summer.

Seanery,

The rims are 15x5.5 Enkies.....(closer to six)
Tire size: 205/60/15's
Offset of the rims is unknown (I'm sure it's stamped or something)....I prefer the offset of these rims over the stock rims due to the increased track and how the wheels really fill up the fender wells. I have no problems on the passanger side, but the drivers side is rubbing
(blistered the paint on my first trip around the block today)...no big deal...the car needs a new paint job one of these days...

URY914,

What happened?
I take it you started down that path on purpose??

Jon....may the wrath of the get you !!!!!!

Looks Great Mueller

Mine before paint....

Hey mr914,
I love your rotisserie avatar, but I especially liked the broken car one.

Here's one ... bought May 2002 ... 76 2.0L

Here's one of my old car. It's actually one of
my wedding photos from more than 10 years
ago.
Mark S.
'70 914-6
previously '73 1.7
before that '73 2.0

Thank you. It's fairly quick to do a new one in photoshop.

No offence intended to the group . Just having some fun on the computer since I can't be out in the garage working on the pcars.

You know you can make copies by right clicking on the avitar and save as....

Here's another one....

914s Rule
