Hey all, new to the site. Sooo many nice cars and good people on here. This is my 73 914 1.7 that had a 2.0 in it when I bought it 15 years ago. Since has undergone 350 SBC V8 conversion about 3 years ago using Renegade kit. RDR front bodywork, Sheridan rear quarters and fin, fiberglass hood, Chevy CK headlights, MX5 mirrors(cheap alternative to factory aeros) Momo seat/wheel/shift knob, 5 pt belts, Koni/Eibach/ground control, Carrera front brakes, 8.5 & 10X18's with Conti's. 2,350lbs with full tank. Fun car to build. Wish I could afford a proper 3.6 conversion but hey, I needed cheap power. And maybe one of these days I'll finally paint it. See ya, Paul.

Nice!

Nice ride, JC914. I love the seats!

Hello to all at 914 World! Here is some words from a true 914 enthusiast in Norway. For the last 15 years I have enjoed the life with my 914-4 with 2,4 liter 4.syl engine. Here is a link to my web site: http://home.newmedia.no/ksylte/side2.htm

Since 2005 I got my hands on a 914-6GT Replica, built to look like the triple victory in The Maratone the la Route in 1970. Her it is:

3,2 liter Carrera engine and all the GT upgrade.

Rest of my cars is from the same family, aircooled Volkswagen:

Nice hotrod

Hi everyone, well this is my first post and I'm going to start by posting a fiberglass mess that I recently purchased. It's my first 914 but last in a long line of air-cooled rigs. I paid $500 for it about a month ago. I haven't done much to it yet besides getting it to start.....damned d-jet. It only runs at all because I hooked the fuel pump to an ignition wire.




Does anybody know what this kit is called? I mean besides an extremely heavy fiberglass mess that's going to keep me busy all winter?

It's called a chalon. There is a guy in the classifieds that was selling fiberglass fenders that would easily fix the front

Welcome to the maddness

It looks like a "Rayco" kit. I used to see them in Kit Car magazine. I think all the body parts are attached with an epoxy. If you want to return it to stock, I think I have most of the body parts you need. You can have them for free if you want. You in Portland?

Brent,
I never saw your question about the phone dials on my teener. No they're not 16s. They are stock 911 SC 15 6 and 7s. I think the 16 6 and 7 were an option on the SC.

Well back to the drawing board... thanks???

Just dug these too out of a box

Guess maybe I should double-check some of the boxes in my garage ...

Thanks, I'll definitely look. I think the front is pretty ugly too. I like the back. I'm open to all suggestions.

Thanks for the offer! I would be very interested in the stock body parts. I don't live in Portland. I live about a half hour east of Eugene. However, I'm very willing to come up to Vancouver. I'll send you a PM today....Thanks again!

I KNOW it is DEFINATELY a RAYCO...I installed one several years back. Feel free to contact me at wparker42@yahoo.com

Would like to hear all comments please

My first Porsche was a 1970 914 1.7l. Ten Porsches later, I'm back where I started (but added 2 more cylinders). Despite their quirks and all cars have them, these cars are so much fun!

Here is a picture from when I first got the car. It now has steel flares and I am currently working on the 5 Lug suspension.

Hi Sven


... from the neighbourhood





at least global speaking

Sven,

It is good to see another member from Germany here on the forum.


.....and the botton of your car.......

We will be looking forward to your posts on this Forum.

Paul

Ok,

Figured I would post up a picture of my running car. It's a '74 with the stock 2.0 liter fuel injection. Got it off of eBay from a local seller for a very good deal. He just had grown tired of it and wanted it gone - actually his wife wanted it gone. Jumped in, turned the key, and drove it home. Has sway bars, center console, and luggage rack (yuk!). I picked it up in March and have been driving it daily since then. The other silver one in the background is a real six which now is in Europe. This picture was taken at a carshow where I work.

Welcome Sven

nice job

Nice score

Let me know if you decide to sell the luggage rack

Been on here a awhile and figured I should post some pics.

Bought this car in 05 for $2k and it needed just about everything except a motor and tranny(paint, interior, bushings etc). The reason I paid that much for it though is that it had almost no rust(so I thought). Upon disassembly found that the Hell hole needed to be attended to but it really wasn't that bad. Basically spent 6 months and did everything(Paint, reupholstered the interior, bushings, shocks, swaybar, windshield, brakes etc) and then have just been driving it and tinkering with it since.

Sweet Deal!

Here is my new 1970 914-6.

Here is another of the new six.

My 1976 garage queen

Thanks Jim- not the same one. My son found this on a road trip in SoCal. A nice couple restored it about 10 years ago and decided to part with it.

Hey Toni,
Laß' mich raten, das Foto ist von einem Treffen an der Ruderregatta?
War nur geraten, ich habe da mal für ein paar Jahre gewohnt.
Cheers from Seattle,
J.



(sorry, translates to: "Let me guess, the pic is taken at the rowing facilities (in Munich)? Was only a try, because I have lived there for a few years")

Figured It was time to share. I bought this 72 a few months ago for $1500 and has served me quite well as a daily driver so far

In order to hide some of the ugly until I graduate in May a couple of cans of painters will have to do

Is that vinyl on the A-pillars too? (I think that's what they're called). Was that a year specific thing? Cool!

yepp - only available on early MY'73 cars (amongst the 1st 1,000 or so)
