Damn. That looks great. Been thinking of that color.

Bob.

Thanks!

it is Riviera Blue, It is a color from a 95' 911. It looks a little darker in person.

rip snortin' fun

Trav, you need some center caps on those wheels.

No kiddin' Gotta dismount the tires and blast, fix dings, sand & polish. I am thinking about doing wurth silver on them for a little different look. Probably wouldn't look right next to the darker paint color though..

Don't blast!!! Blasting will make pits that are hard to sand/polish out. Polish and elbow grease. they will shine like chrome. Save the Wurth for wheels that are meant to be dull. Westerns look better with a high luster.

Not a real pic....

F1 Motorsport history.

Rog:
Great pic of teener leading the F1 pac with the Maclaren in Front.
Anyone notice the Ontario plates on the teener.
Looks like Turn 3 at Mosport sometime in the late seventies, early
eighties.
Thx for the pic.

I know you're not supposed to love anything that can't love you back. But, if that were true, wouldn't divorce rates be even higher?

Here's a fresh one.

joe,

please post a bigger pic of year rear fender deal

I thought I sent you a pic already. Turn OFF your porn filter!

It's an early 70's 911 fender well (non SC). The weld seam is about 4" beyond the opening.

I'd be happy to shoot some other pics for you if you need some reference for body work.

This is my new '75 1.8 that is almost rust free! The squashed bug in the background is my previous car. It was time for a serious upgrade anyways.

why is the mirror so low in on the orange car????

Probably to get a better rear view. At the expense of front view.

it'd be great if you drive in reverse a lot...

here is my 75 914 1.8L...i call it my Red Dragon.
I am planning to install a stereo system and alarm. While trying to keep everything orginal.
wish me luck
by the way...anyone able to put on a decent sound system in a 914?

I will be tearing it apart and install the stereo and alarm system this weekend..doing it myself.....

hopefully i can put it back together and it will run again.
i will take pictures to keep you guys updated.

WISH ME LUCK

Hey,
Here's my '72. Nothing fancy but fun. 1.7w/webers, turbo tie rods, SS braided lines, Momo steering wheel. Perfect original interior, non-retracting seatbelts. All heat junk removed by previous owner. My 3rd 914 ('73, and '76).
Have to have a 914 in the garage to feel whole!!

Aaron,

The PO was REALLY tall and with full adj. to the mirror, he was still staring at the back of the car. So he repositioned it. It is kinda nice too. Right at eye level, just have to glance over to look into it.

Well....here it is. I have been checking out this site for years but just recently started posting to it. This is my 3rd 914. I have owned it for about five years. The last two years however, the car was gutted, stripped down to bare metal and redone. It just got back on the road two weeks ago. The original color was the metallic copper. It is a 75 1.8. It is all stock with the exception of the airfilter, front sway bar and 140# rear springs. While I had it apart I did the bumper conversion but now I am in search of some good rubber tops. If I can't find any I might go fiberglass instead(please feel free to contact me if you know of anyone that might help me in my search!) As you can see from the pictures I am still getting all the trim pieces put on as I find them locally, on eBay, on this site....you know the drill.

It will be lowered to a reasonable height this week and with any luck all the little pieces will be put on sooner rather than later! Look me up if you are ever in the Phoenix area.

Another one

Last one for now.

One last pic and I should probably take the time to thank Jack and his crew at Stuttgart Southwest for basically putting the thing back together after I realized that I was in over my head!

New Paint, bumper pads, exhaust, rubber...it's getting there, bit by bit..

oops it didnt post, here's another try

I'm not sure what the hell I just did, but that's not my car!(even if they look the same) and I'm not sure where I got that pic..

Here is my 73' 2.0. It has dual Webber idf's and some minor issues to work through. But I am quite happy with this one

Interior

Front trunk with tool bag over spare

Great color Merrill! Is that a Porsche tool kit? What kind of front spoiler is that?

yummmm, rev's and flares. I like that look.
eric

Damn Dion That is one nice car. Marathon Blue. I don't know about the tool kit Maybe one of the guru's can shed some light. I will need to start filling that bag as well. The air dam I believe is a flex damn?

I figure it's time I show some pics. This is about how it looked when i first converted it. I'm getting ready for paint.



This is some time later after a little work. Paint is done, FG rear flares, wheels, tires.



And this is the same car now. New paint. I always wanted a silver 914.



Then I got a good deal on another 914 that I couldn't pass up. I like the polka dots.



More pics on my website. Link at bottom of page.

. . . at least you've got it inside and out of the weather. . . .

She has had some work since this picture but haven't we all?

Here's an update of my sweet Bahia Red 914 (now) 6. Carbon fiber front bumper, hood, rear bumper and hood. Wing removes with 4 nuts for street use. As before, 3.2 l mildly tweaked; twin turbo brakes F & R; full roll cage, 9x17" wheels, 245x17" tires F, 10x17" wheels, 285x17" R ("street"); 9 & 10x18" for track (had to drive to Lime Rock, so street tires in picture); Boxster S transmission.

Street legal and a blast on the track. I bought new in 1971. No rust

Great car! Wonderful new, even better now!

Nice ride ABC, Id add some cross bracing to your wing uprights.. some small dia cable and stainless turnbuckles work well

ABC- i like the valence with the cooler in it. BTW...looks like its sitting pretty high

Very nice ride ABC.

Who make the rear fenders??? luv em.

ABC those flares are amazing . Where did you get them (done)?

MY 914

The Car looks sweet ABC. It might look like it is sitting kinda high because of that part of the track. At lime Rock you can get two wheels of the ground on the back part of the course...going straight.

Yes, it does look a little high, but probably for two reasons - I normally run "track" tires (P Zero C) on 18" rims, but I had to drive on street rubber for this event (BFG KDW). Second, I don't trailer, so I can't make it too low or the oil cooler becomes an oil drain. Not good. It's hard to see from the picture, but the front dam has a splitter, so I do have to be careful.

I agree about the cross struts to stiffen the wing supports. I got the car back from the shop on Tuesday and drove to Lime Rock on Wednesday, so no time to shakedown.

Fenders were done by Carradini Auto Rebuilders in Rockaway, NJ. (973) 627-7717, ask for Billy. Great job, solid, no cracks. All steel. He cuts off the fender edge, add "pizza slices" of steel to extend the fender, then welds the edge back on to make it look like factory. The shape removes some of the boxiness from the 914. Almost looks voluptuous now. I love it!
