Ditto - looks really nice.

I find it educational to hear what others can find wrong with really nice restorations. Even though my car is pretty "correct" at first glance, I've built a list of 40+ small things that are just not right/perfect but I honestly have no interesting in correcting because I'd rather just drive it at this point (e.g. I used zinc plated washers in some places rather than yellow cad; kill me now).

I'm also happy to see another stock restoration take the liberty to remove the side warts as I did too. I can't stand those.

Having said that, other small things that haven't been mentioned yet that aren't "correct" (I think):

- the brake line retaining clips should be black, not yellow cad

- later upgraded chain tensioners (but a really good idea and also on my car)

- not accurate reproduction stickers on the engine lid. The repros have the black outline border with rounded corners (correct), but the repro stickers themselves are square, but should also have rounded corners. But, he had very high attention to detail and tried to snip/cut rounded corners on the stickers, but they are clearly not perfectly round corners like the factory stickers. Might as well burn this POS to the ground! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- Also I think the factory engine lid stickers were not applied with that much of a gap between the stickers.

- ride height is too low for a factory/stock restoration (IMO)

- undercoating looks nice and is well done, but I don't think is "correct" anywhere on the car. bottom should be grey. Wheel wells look like there is thick undercoating that was then painted. Should just be body color painted metal (I think).

I love it and looks like an awesome car! Ivory looks great on 914s. But given my other projects, I'd have to be a buyer at $12,500... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
