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.

Dan - I just did my semi-regular evil-bay 914 search for my 73 2L resto, & saved you out the Mahle & Fuchs 2L wheels listed below (no affiliation to any) - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/porsche-914...sQ5fAccessories ... Mahles I mentioned - actually in CN -- the rest are Fuchs 2Ls .... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-914...sQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-914...sQ5fAccessories > this one shows the OE finish, as does the Sahara Beige 73 2L in the O&H "The few, the rare ..." nailed post. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-914...utorefreshZtrue Here are some aftermarket chromed 914 Alloy Lugs, but is the same vendor in TX as at TheSamba - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LUG-BOLTS-f...sQ5fAccessories http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/16-NEW-CHRO...sQ5fAccessories Happy Hunting! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// Hope this helps, but also check on TheSamba under wheels & Porsche parts, as they have good stuff & good sellers too, but without the auction mentality at the evil-one!
