I got this 2 weeks ago, my first 914 and I am gutting it as much as i can. WISH ME LUCK!

Looks solid, keep it up!

BP - great looking 2.0 - just the right size for crowded "Streets of San Francisco". Looks like you have been able to avoid the SF curse - door ding rash.

Thanks! I can count the number of times it's been parked on the street on one hand. It stays in the garage every night. I made a huge mistake and left it parked on the street for a couple of hours one afternoon. Wouldn't you know, some A-hole smashed out a window, and ruined my knee pad trying to steal the stereo. The faceplate wasn't even there. Learned my lesson. On the super rare occasion it's parked out, I leave it unlocked with nothing inside.

She has been sitting in my garage for the last nine years. Started getting her back up to speed a couple of weeks ago...

73 1.7 converted to 2.0 with steel flares

Another view.

wow ... looks really good ... cool car

what kind of blue is this
look a little like a mixture of marathon blue metallic and gemini blue metallic

Definitely sweet!

Love the wheels....Revolutions?

Thanks Guys,
You're on the money with the "Marathon" metallic blue. No mixture,I just think its the lighting that really affects this particular colour. And yes those are Revolutions 17x7 frt. and 17x8 rear. Probably too much for the car but I like the look and hope in the future to get a little bit more from the engine. As is totally stock 2.o with a K&N intake. But heres a question because of the size of these rims does anyone think it necessary to beef up the susp. arms. Currently also has 170# springs.

I think that the general consensus is that the suspension arm stiffening kits aren't all that effective. You should start a new thread on the forum to get more detailed information regarding your question about how to "beef" it up.....or if you even really need to with your current set-up.

Again.......sweeeet looking car you've got there Dion!

Sweet car!!!!!!! Hey Dion were neighbors Iam in Collegeville I have the Turbo GT 2.0. Are you going to Herschey?

Thanks for the input Special K. Yes Nein 14 I am going to Hershey. I just recieved my registration packet. Give me a shout at rockscape@netzero.com. Where in collegeville?
And did John at Bruce Bakers shop help with the fourteener? Drop me a line. I know this post is for pics sorry to divert the subject.

75 2.0

'73 1.7 I've owned since'83.

congrads Gary you've owned your 73 for 3 years longer than me. Purchased mine in 86'. I like the black with the black wheels,understated. :

Hey all,
The new Fuchs look so nice I had to add an updated photo. The wheels are HRE 17's, 11” & 12” wide. They really fit tight in the fender wells, so tight that the tires are rubbing on the inner front fenders during really tight turns. I’m not sure I can do anything about it other then limit the radius of turn?? I was forced into a 17” rim because these fender flares are so wide and no one produces a 15”or 16” tire that is wide enough to fill the fenders.

wow, chris, looks really good!!!
and those 17" fuchs...

here are some more baby pictures

I'm new to the board and new to the world o'914. Let me say that both ROCK . I bought my first 914 off a club member last weekend and it's awesome. Here's a pic from one of my favorite drives.





Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what road that is.

--G

it's not Kannan, but it looks like the neighborhood

Naw! Looks more like Tuna Canyon Rd. in Topanga

Here's my baby!

Close. It's Decker Canyon. Hwy23 west of Malibu. If you too fast you'll make yourself . It's that

1973 owned for 21 years now. It will be getting an extreme makeover this summer. It was a daily driver while in Florida. Now that we reside in Michigan we drive it when the sun is high.

Welcome Kevin.

SWEET car. Love GT flares on a black car.

914V8 buick 215ci, needs some work to finish, loovers for hood, modified engine cover. I am having fun driving it for now.

Kevin Phillips, have you got a larger picture of your 914 + more info......I love the black /gold combo.

this my project

Here's my beastie:
'73 Chalon GT kit. Original conversion had '89 GNX Twin Turbo
and Doug Nash (NASCAR) Tranny. Owner blew engine and sold tranny.
I will be transplanting '93 LT1 engine with '89 915 Euro tranny.
Would like to make replacement panels since this will be a purpose built race-car. Can anyone help me out on how to build molds for fenders, quarter panels, hood and decklid??

This is my 1976 2.0.

Heres the rear very straight car. The blocks on the front were there because we jacked it up the night before. Its in very nice shape.

Like Mark Henry originally posted, "Let's see your babies".
