If the classic black limo look is not where you guys want to go, I would suggest going with any classic color/racing scheme from one of the classic/iconic 914's.

Any of the 70's racing teams would be cool.

Or maybe it could be styled after the 914 given to Ferry Porsche.

What ever you guys decide on, I'm sure it will be cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) whit, pull the stripes starting at the top of the turn signals, and run them straight back along the top edge tapering to a point near the cowel. There was a 935 with a similar look

Gulf colored paint scheme?

Either that or I'm really liking either Bumble Bee, Creamsicle, or Grasshopper.

So imagine if the car was done in the 70's and was a support vehicle for the factory race teams and painted to match the transporter and race car. If I were building one that's the direction I would be taking. But I'm kind of like that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Piffle,

White Porsche limos are sooooooooo common.....

(no, it's not a photoshop, it resides about 40 miles up the road from me)

You need another color....

Now a gulf blue and orange limo....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

BLACK limo's have class. A black Porsche 914 limo would be classy. Ya want to put racing stripes on it? Then why not some neon lights under the rocker panels and a really, really loud "ricer" type exhaust. You have a choice between a classy project that will draw an admiring crowd or something that looks like a high school project that the 15 year olds will love.
Cheers, Elliot

I finally re-read the entire thread taking everything into consideration.

The Project: Great demonstration of skills, thinking, winging it, and engineering know how. Great job with eyeballs, straight edge, metal, tape, and string. A great build to see how sheet metal is worked on a 914 including building stress points and developing ideas while on the build cycle. Learned alot and nice to see people are dedicated to getting a conversion done in a short and reasonable time frame. Great Job!!

I really liked the constructive ideas offered and makes even an observer think about your project and how you are putting it together.

I am looking forward to seeing The Project when I get to Bay Area next June. Keep up the good work and hope to see what the final paint scheme. I like the idea the Doctor suggests: a one of a kind deserving special treatment within the Porsche car family.

Thanks for letting me reading the thread.
