Retro '75 build, just like you would have seen back in the day Options

[DanT]

So my latest build is a '75 Appearance Group car.
Car is currently in the body shop being stripped to bare metal.
Motor and tranny were just rebuilt...

going for a retro look.
Rivs, Porsche negative side stripe, Monza exhaust, Vittaloni mirrors and a few interior items to keep it '70s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

got a load of stuff from MikeK (914magazine) today.
4 very nice Rivs
2.0L heat exchangers with associated heater stuff
Monza exhaust
2.0L muffler hanger
Koni front struts
spare trigger points
Custom pedal board
original grain vinyl for the sail panels and targa bar

here are some pics of the stuff.
first pic is one of the heater tubes media blasted
second pic is tube final product.
entire exhaust system will be done the same.
Pic of one of the Rivs I did a quick polish with power ball and aluminum polish..
black paint on the Rivs is perfect, just needs to be cleaned and waxed.

here are a couple of pics of stuff that will be media blasted by myself tomorrow and then painted by me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


The point of this car is to build a daily driver that looks period correct, and to be a PAX weapon in the GGR AX series. Even with a very moderate suspension package I will be in AX 16 which will give me a very nice multiplication factor for TTOD. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I am looking for another set of wheels.
4 Bolt Fuchs, Mahles or Pedrinis....don't really care which, just as long as they are nice a straight and can be cleaned and polished...

Dan - there's a nice set of 4 Mahle Baby-gas burners (4 lugs) on TheSamba or evil-bay right now for $100 ea. (down in TX IIRC); & may also be more here, 914club, Pelican & TheSamba (under wheels &/or Porsche parts sections), classifieds, etc.

You want to make sure any of them have a part no. on the back ending in -01 to fit your self-centering (Hub-centric) front hubs with the lips around the hole for the axle dust cover (same for Rivs) - otherwise they can't seat properly & could both chew up the back face of the wheels & come loose on hard cornering. The ones with p/n ending in -00 are made for the 70-72 914s without hub-centric front hubs.

FYI - more info on this under the O&H wheels & tires nailed topics, where I'd posted a pic of the back of my Fuchs 2L with the machined inset for the lip & ....-01 p/n.

Also, Al Reid down here in Anaheim does an excellent job of refinishing wheels - both to OE spec for CW & per customer request. IIRC - that link above also has a list of other wheel refinishers on it, but don't recall if any are near you. If you do them with Al by late next month, then I can bring them up with me & drop them when I come up to SFO for biz meetings around 4/26-28 time frame. Just PM or email me if you want that drop-off service.
