Hi all, I’m still a newbie here on world, I’ve made a few posts but have not yet formally introduced myself. My name is Kent and I have been restoring cars for over 20 years now. I did the reconstruction, body and paint on Andy’s (socalandy) 914-6. I immediately became hooked on 914,s and bought and built a 914 V8 conversion. I am starting a new restoration on another 914-6 so I will be posting pics of the progress as I go. The owner of this cars name is Jim and he has done a nice job of rounding up and restoring many of the parts thus far so this will no doubt be a nice car in the end. Andy (socalandy) posted a thread on this car a few months back and now it is in my shop and I’m ready to begin.

Excellent! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) We can always use another skilled expert who loves these cars and knows how to really fix them. I loved Andy's build and really look forward to following this one along. Like already mentioned, please keep us hooked with tons of progress pictures. Thanks in advance and my hat is tipped to you for the outstanding work on Andy's beautiful car.
