CUDA 911's 914 Thread ! ! ! Options

Hey all,

Today, June 10, 2014, I bought my first 914. It is a 1974 1.8, silver.

My first posts on 914 world were in a thread dedicated to my hunt for a 914. It can be found at the following link:

Many, many people here provided a massive amount of fantastic information. I have studied, read, and (hopefully) learned the very basics of 914s.

Now that I own one, I will have a million more detailed questions, and I hope to keep things documented in this thread.

First, a few photos for you:

Re:

Thanks, Dave. I just now ordered from FleaBay a set of the black ones that are the style in your second image.

The Rennlist guys recommend POR15 to deal with the minor rust in trunk. I need to find where I can buy that, and also order some OEM spray paint somewhere so I can repaint it. Hmmm... now I gotta find that paint code. Anyone have it handy?

I just now insured it through American Collector's Insurance. Not bad rates at all. The policy doesn't start until 1:00 am tomorrow. I also have to go to AAA today to get the DMV paperwork filed.

Mepstein, thanks, I will check out "tweet" and see if I can find him.

Brant, for some reason, the rockers are pop-riveted on. I need to drill out the rivets and replace with screws. I'll get to that soon.

Re bumpers: I am really glad it came with that earlier front bumper, I hate those tits on the original '74s. I'll leave the rear ones alone for now. But, eventually I'd like to get rid of those, too.

Re: "You CAN'T remove that big cassette player though!!!"

You are right, look what I found in the side door pocket!!! And, the first tune on it is "My Way".... rather ironic don't you think?
