Sorry to be a bother. On those wheels, what's the original application? (What model do they come off of?)

Looks like Allan stopped by the day you took that pic

Hey, post a shot of your exhaust system Steven

nice, how are the doors fitting with the lambo kit?

Nice.

When I put my Westerns on our cars are twins

Looking at your pictures has inspired me to go work on mine! This is my first post on this site. I hope you like my teener.

More photos of the whole transformation at http://community.webshots.com/user/v8914

One more from the bottom and one more of the engine

i would mark but i lost the cable that goes from my camera to my computer. maybe i can use my dads camera. yea actually allan took that pic and posted it on the bakersfield has teener thread. so i just stole it from there.

Dude mark. your old man. sorry. but before 2006, 1973 was the last time you drove a 914? ouch that sux.

I only feel old if I look in a mirror ... or do something real strenous ... or take a deep breath ... or ...

I'm not a real Chalon fan, but that undercarriage is awesome Wes

I'd be interested in how the lambo kit worked out as well, I think that would be a pretty cool addition to the car! Oh yeah, I gotta get the dang thing back up an running first but there is always the future mods!

Here is my 76 teener.. Its alright needs a bit of work to make proper... but what can you do it isn't concourse but it is a daily driver
Jeff

not the best. but could be a lot worse...well. i dont know how much worse. but it is possible

Hey, I like them ATS wheels

What size tires are you running? (I'm recently running Michelin 195/65's on these)

on my car i have 205/60 but i had to shave the rear fender so the tire doesnt rub.

Picture of my car at the last AX... Feb. 16th, 2008

Hey pheonix.
sweet 914. man than thing is gorgeous.

Thanks. I am always doing something to it. My wife calls it my mistress. Although she teases me she is very supportive of the work I do on it.

Obtaining spousal approval is like winning half the battle

My wife has become a lot more supportive since I bought her her own 914. She's talking about having the interior reupholstered in the near future, and she's bugging me less and less about all the cars and parts I've got stashed around here. Geez, I should have done this years ago

She just recently offered to buy me a 4-post hydraulic lift so I can get more cars back on the road

Nice. My wife just wants me to get the '70 S finished so she can drive it. She really likes the fact I race and work on cars. If you guys are single just remember that if they give you crap about your cars now they always will. If they like your cars now they will be supportive of your adiction.... at least somewhat.

Thats cool you dont get flack for you passion.

Here is my 1971 914 it is all original, and just about flawless you will never believe me but i only paid 100$ for it. It was one owner i am the second. Garaged mostly it's whole life. Fuel injected, all i had to do to get it running was clean the fuel pump, and put new fuel lines on it, it had been sitting for a number of years, oh i drained the old gasoline out and put some super in it.Click to view attachment

Nice score! A Real Classic!
how many miles?

it has 97,xxx all documented miles. It has gas receipts dating back to 1971, every oil change, all service records, it even has the original footrest for the passenger (i admit i didn't know what it was until i did some research). It has the owners manual with the dealers stamp. It was an amazing score, I still can't believe it. The guy that sold it to me apparently thought it wasn't worth the effort.

Very nice score

Here's it's brother, my wife's 'original' 71

that must be "howie"

yup they could be twin brothers.

Aye, tis 'Howie'

We were fortunate to get all the original components too (footrest, tool kit, battery top cover and service records).

I recently changed the wheels to Empi's and plan to put a Bursch exhaust on (for a little more HP and better sound), but keeping all the original parts (will powder-coat the steel wheels and repaint the muffler with gray VHT or =)

Damn I am liking those wheels......

i got a set of black 5point ats wheels from my 75 914, i entertained the idea of using those, but i really like how those empis look...

It was such a nice day today. I had to go for a drive. Then I felt so good I decided to post a pic.

I think black ATS wheels will look good on your car. The Empi's only have stock 165's on them (because of the VW bug offset), but they look OK on her car.

I recently picked up a set of black ATS wheels for me black '75 (see a few posts back). I plan to have the lips and ribs polished and the centers painted to either match or contrast-accentuate the body color when the car gets repainted.

... just made a killer deal on a set of 14x6 5-lugs too

Now the big problem is which car to put them on

still those empis look great...i really like those. IMO they are nicer than fuch or pedrini .. i know heresy, but those empis are really nice looking!

That's the beauty of it all, the car is your blank canvas, you are the artist

Here is my 73 914 1.7

its pretty much original cept for the monza system, rebuilt with 2.0 heads etc, and the marathon blue metallic-ish paint on it, and radio

my mom is the orignal owner, so i have all the documentation on it.
Basically, it was my hs project, and daily driver

Hey that's my old GT

So I've been lurking around the website for a while now - figured I'd go ahead and say "hi".

This is my '71 914. Bought it from a friend's dad here in Huntsville last fall, haven't spent much time with it, but plan to dive in now that it's starting to get a little nicer outside...

I know it has a few big cosmetic things that'll have to be worked on - I'm better with these than the internal stuff (engine, electrical, etc).

Anyone know of any other 914 owners in the North Alabama area?

Was it repainted? Marathon blue was a 74-75 color.

It looks really nice...

yea, i repainted it about a year ago


it was originally silver metallic, but it fades too fast, so after seeing the marathon blue metallic, i thought it looked alot cleaner, and would survive the sun better, so i made a similar match for the color
