Hi All -
Been a long time - hope everyone is doing well and safe,

Stumbled on this. Yes, thats my old car - I owned it from 92 to 2013. It's been sold a few times since I let it go. Nice to see that is still lives.

Looks like its on much bigger wheels now (I ran 15x7/8), and the car looks like it has a rake to the front. Not my thing, but thats fine - just a chocolate or vanilla thing.

Flares are spot on/ The valance being a part of the bumper makes the rear look high in that pic.

My original rear 916 bumper was smashed in 1994. It was a perfect replica of the original. Unforntunately the repos they were making at that time had that new/different profile and incorrect license plate area. Always hated that.

Front bumper is hens teeth. Correct profile and does not get narrower as it gets to the center of the hood. It was purchased in the mid 80's.

When I sold it it had a carbed 2.7 - 6

I stole the bolt on flare idea from a white 914 featured in a mid-80's "VW and Porsche" magazine. When I built the car, steel flares we not the norm (folks did not spend that kind of money) and every car I saw with fiberglass flares always started to crack or the blend lines became visible. I like old race cars, so this seemed like a perfect marriage. Did the Martini stuff on a whim as I had never seen another one. Nice to see it has lasted.

Miss that little car sometimes. After 20+ years it was tough to let it go. Just had to many other car projects going.

Oh, the Lemans cars only had the door number light on the passenger side. Yes, drilling that hole was scary - but that light looked killer at night on the highway. It was far scarier drilling and riveting the front and rear deck lid hold down and pins!

here are some very old pics.
