Back in April 2009 I bought a real 914/6 that was raced in IMSA in 1979 and 1980.
This car was in storage since the late 1980s, in fact I had considered buying it back in 1990. Here is the car as it sat in Mark Kinnaman's (Bartlett 914) shop after I bought it.  |

Auggh.....that reminds me of how much work is involved there......but I admire your dedication. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I see you've removed a seemingly redundant tube. I can't wait to see your cleanup of the engine room. |

The bar was removed to work on the trunk floor it will be reinstalled |
