Update, I'll be offering this one up for sale when completed.
Here is a link to an album on fickr much better to see progress pics https://www.flickr.com/photos/124793434@N03...157654074622313 I started with a 914 that sat 15 years in dry storage in the hands of a hopeful V8 conversion fan. A stalled project that never happened. So my starting point was an unmolested car with no rust issues. Original books/manuals, keys, radio and so on. This will be a mildly modified back date look with body color bumpers and early steel wheels with hub caps.simple look of the German delivery first series cars. Starting in on the home stretch, glass in and ready for door install Interior is in and wiring connected. Starting to test systems and wake the long sleeping beauty. So far all go except for one headlight wont wake up.I'll be digging in on that as I work thru the rest of electrical check out. Should hang the doors in the next few days. Fuel up and brake check out as well.   Original carpet is in pretty respectable condition. Steering wheel will get a going over.  Bumpin' sound system   |

Floors with original factory finish. These were striped and epoxy painted before Roadblocker sound absorption mats were applied. Roadblocker is self sticking butyl rubber with 4 mil aluminum backing, odorless non asphalt, good stuff.   |
