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.

I have a set of Rivs for my car also...trying to decide what I am going to do with the tires...
streets on the Rivs or the Fuchs and then AX tires on the other set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) My car is also going to stay with the big bumpers. This is my 5th 914 and all the others had earlier bumpers...so this is a bit different. In some ways I like the big bumpers because so many others seem not to like them...I tend to be a bit of a contrarian. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) My car is a Appearance group car, so I have vinyl sail panels (with new factory material) and fog lights, console etc. Have you gotten all the A/C stuff off your car now? |
