Finally starting my 914-6 GT project after waiting a couple decades. The infection hit me after driving a 911 my employer owned, so I found a '69 912 that I drive for five years until I sold it. Since then, I have been waiting to build a 914-6 GT. John Forbes helped find the starting point for me in October 2015: a white '76 with flares.

Just gathered a few pieces over the past several weeks, and traveled to Hershey for the swap meet. I was somewhat disappointed with Hershey; seeing the cars was great, but the swap meet didn't match the hype. Maybe I expected too much. Anyway, the day after the meet, I purchased a Carrera front suspension in North Carolina.
The other parts collected include the center of the firewall, which I will use to make a cover for an access hole. I'm also awaiting shipment of a hook and grommet from one of the recent group buys.   |
