Just a quick introduction. I am picking up a 74 1.8 this weekend to do a 6 conversion on. I built one about 15 years ago but then sold it and had a 964 and a 911 turbo in its absence. I have since sold everything and have not had a porsche in about 3 years.
Technology has changed since my absence and was looking for a quick list of must do's when doing a conversion.. Thanks |

One thing that has changed since you did your last 914 is the flares, there is now quality reproduction steel flares being made.
They are made by AA, but I'm a hater so I personally will never buy from them. Restoration Design is your best source for repair panels and your steel flares. RD has changed hands since you last had a 914. It's now a top notch supplier with many parts. Also it's now based out of Canada which is no big deal. Ordering and shipping is no BS you will have the parts in your hands within days. http://www.restoration-design.com/store/category/914 |

I am guessing because Steel prices are in the toilet along with fuel costs.. I am working some hand made steel flares right now on the english wheel and planishing hammer.. I will see how they turn out.. worst case is I buy them new from RD. |
