pillay2k,
where did you get the black turn signal lenses?

The PO did that mod, i've changed back to euro lenses. Here in the Uk you can buy 'light tinting spray' which basically blacks out the lights as much or as little as you want, it is common with the 'boy racers' over here....

that link may tell you more! Easy to do, expensive to undo... hehe

Beautiful!!!!

Hey Jim who did your 5-lug conversion?

Updated picture. I last posted this on the 2nd or 3rd page back in '03




Now after a colour change and a six instal it looks more like this.

My '76 before the V8 conversion.

Latest picture of Huey, taken the day of the Charlotte Parade concours.
Still need a front fog-lightless grill for the passengers side...

Gustl, thats Beautiful!

Oh man, Thesey's LeMans pics are perfect. Mulsanne Straight, the camping/ parking. What an experience LeMans is!

Ok,

It's time I post the pictures of my 72 Bahia Red; as it was when I bought it and now, after Shelby worked her magic on it. I still need to finish a few other issues with the car, but I really like the car's new appearance.

Nice

How about posting a current pic or two of Shelby?

Here is a couple of TRONs Porsche........

My 6 conversion. Had it shipped from Huntington Beach to Ohio in '02. Started off as a 1972 1.7 liter, now has a 2.2T six.

currently I have 2 teeners ...

I'll up you one


I picked up a forth earlier this year, but soon after, sold another one ... leaving us with three 914s at present


The plans are to drop a 2.7L-6 (CIS) motor in this 5-lugged '72 (my track car)

nice, whats that in the back of the teeners?

that's a 70ies Fiat 500 L - it belongs to a neighbour who asked me if he could park it there
it's an Italien "Microcar" - more or less the Italien Volkswagen

here you can see it better

The newest teener to my stable. This is the seventeenth 914 I've owned.

T.C. - The car looks great with those rims!

I thought I recognized that car as Dan's.

It does look good with those rims though.

Mr. Davis is a good guy and he'll take care of the little blue guy. I still miss that car soooo much. I hope to see even more great things happen to it though.

Okay - one for posterity!

1973 914, 50/50 car. Originally a 1.7L/4. When I bought it in 1985, it had a 2.0L/4 with webers.
Two years later, I learned that CARBURATORS ARE NOT SMOG LEGAL on a 4 cylinder 914!!! (PPI, kids, PPI !!)
DAPO had swapped in a 2.0L T-IV Bus(?) engine with Weber carbs . Clueless DACO bought it
Well ... in my defense, it was probably the prettiest Lemon* in all of Northern California with it's fresh paint & re-upholstered interior.
*hiden crash damage, missing parts, rusty hell-hole, sick transmission...(PPI, kids, PPI !!)

Shortly after buying this 4 cyl. Porsche, my only 914, I learned there was such an Animal as the 914/6 .

Bye bye Gross-Polluter!
Over the Winter of 1987/88, I got B.A.R. referee approval and converted it into a /6 with a SMOG LEGAL '73.5 911T 2.4L-CIS engine.
The fuel injected /6 passes smog inspections easily, has 50 more HP, gets better gas mileage, and has lasted 3 times longer than the carburated /4 could have ever hoped to.

A few years after the engine swap I bought & installed it's '89 Carrera front suspension/brakes, 911SC rear brakes and 6x15 Fuchs wheels. I also back-dated the front bumper, found a straight re-chromed rear bumper, replaced the plastic aftermarket mirrors with 911 Flag mirrors, and replaced the Flex-Dam with a LE spoiler.

If not for that sweet 911 engine, I would have sold this Porsche 20 years ago. Most likely it would have found the crusher by now. Smog related issues are a head-ache!

I drive it a lot! Its my favorite driver. I have driven it 220K miles since buying it.
I estimate there is 340K miles on the chassis now (original speedo removed before car found me).
The /6 engine has 290K miles on it now and still screaming along. 200K of those miles in this 914.

Thats my most recent wood-shop project in the background . Ya think ye 'ol shop teacher will give me an 'A' now?

I'm glad the cabin is finally finished (10 yrs to plan, design, fight for permits & build). Now I can turn my attention back to my 914 and get restoration #2 started
(repaint, leather interior ... 3.2L DME(?)).

Great looking car & great looking house!

my buddy 914mike, that owned rootwerks blue car for a few years, told me to buy this 75 -2.0. 3 days after buying it RRC , 2750 miles 3quarts of oil and 33MPG. .

If it got you there and back home safely, you've already got your money's worth out of it

I just realized, that I left out the 73' conversion parts car. It is gone now. I've got to show it some respect. Here is the picture. made a great parts and conversion car. I almost kept it, but 2 914s is a little too much for me.Click to view attachment

two is a little too much? hmm , between my dad and i we have 3 of em. 2 are running and in daily operation, although my dad doesnt drive his daily, i drive mine daily and we are going to restore the third one. his current one is too nice for daily service. cherry red stored in a garage since about 89, he just started driving it here in the last couple of years. anyways i say you can never get too much of a good thing, right?

That is true, to a certain extent, and depending on what it is , for example...... But I do miss the other 914 for some strange reason. I do wonder, though , how many people have more than one 914, thus the new thread...........

BaMM!

...You need help my friend....

good to meet you at Petit. I think that car needs Carrera Calipers, how about you?

Sure does Bob, but I need a job before she gets brakes. The shocks and springs go on as soon as I recover from my knee surgery tomorrow. I've got an A/X Nov 2 and DE 2 weeks after that.

But it sounds Mean

very nice detail
who did you seats & woodgrain?

mike

Thanks! I did the seats and the wood is fake. It is a process we provide in the aircraft business. I will try and post better pics.

Hey I'm new to this sweet site! I was not sure where to post my first hello post so I'm going to do it here....My name is Andi and I love Porsche...My father started the first shade tree Porsche garage in Texas and was also a Porsche designer and mechanic for Jo Sifferts team.In the 914 world...my mom had a 914/6 and my dad had a rare 916...I decided to pickup a 1973 Porsche 1.7 and drive it hard till it blows...and install my 911 3.6 into the car and make a GT Clone for Porsche Club Racing here in Texas.The only problem is that my car has been perfect and wont die to start this project...I think I'm going to restore my 914 and drop the 3.6 into another 914.I'm not sure if its ok to talk about other Pcars here but just in case I also drive a 1976 Porsche 911 3.0 imported from Waldkreiburg,Germany and a 1976 Porsche 912E...all three of my Pcars are silver with Black wheels.

ya can't help but be impressed with the attention to details on these teeners.

Absolutely Beautiful.

There's a lot of creativity out here ...

... and not to detract from any of the posts, I really like the interesting color combo on Fly's engine




Keep them pix coming ...


I went pretty much with stock colors (except for the fan housing) for the 'temporary' engine I'm getting ready to stuff in my wife's car ...

I agree. I made it my background on my comp for now. carreraguy, your car and color combo is amazing

Damn Dude...Sweet.Click to view attachment

I love those "chromies" and hubcaps! It is the look I am going for on my '72 when it returns from paint and body shop.
