While working of my POS this weekend a little I decided to POR15 putty the holes and flaws and throw some paint on it till it returns to the earth as dust. Not being one to keep a low profile (I wear Hawaiian shirts most days at work) I want a '70s style paint scheme. Got any pics or descriptions?
Right now I'm thinking going back to the original yellow and running some browns as a stripe up the side and across the rear trunk. Maybe I'll even do a mural on the rear trunk too. I'm thinking of replicating the Meatloaf album cover or a sailboat/ ocean right now.
Ideas welcome!
Full Version: '70s custom painted 914s
do it... you know you want to...
This pic stolen from another thread but it works here too. I like the 914Zero.

On that car the purple is paint and the green & white are decals. It looks great in person too. It's the wildest 914 racecar I've ever seen.

That is awesome how ugly that is.
It's not a 914, but look for the Porsche parked on the side of the street near the end of 'Across The Universe'... Can't remember what kind it was :-\
