And so it begins.
I am starting to bring back a 75 that was sitting in a field since around 92. A little damage on the passenger side that only took a short time to rough out. I modified a couple of old engine stands so I could fully rotate the car. Most of the damage is the floor and back firewall from a loose rear window. I have not found any rust in the longs, YET. I just finished a 4 year project restoring a 59 Karmann Ghia. It was my first restoration. I have not decided where to go with this car yet. I originally wanted to recreate the last 914 I had in the early 90s but we will see where it goes.  |

I had to have the matching rear rotor/caliper combination.
When URO announced the 5x130 rear hub a bolt on rear vented 5x130 brake became a possibility. These are redrilled hubs but the URO part will solve that issue.  Years of long nights googling my brains out but I did it. |
