A few photos from the car show. The link below is for those interested in other than orange 914 pictures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Lots of traffic around the little go cart. Fun talking to the people. We finally had to open the lid and show the dirty engine, everyone wanted to see it.

I could have put in a flipped H for you today. I only opened mine for inspection and swapped the tail cone. That little girl could have helped you too.

Tomorrow is judging.
Most likely no. There are so many NICE NICE NICE show cars out there.. If they like the odd and different... I have a good chance.. Im guessing I have a 1% chance at an award. |

Very sweet. Congrats Andyrew, you have rocked it yet again.
Take this with a grain of salt: The rockers.... dude, what you going to do wit the rockers? It seems like the flow is interrupted by the fender. Body color? Blacken bottom edge of fender to continue the stripe that's in front and behind that spot? Not picking on it - amazing as is, just thinking out loud. |

I have a couple of other neat little additions that i'll be putting in soon so stay tuned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

OH MAN! I had a Wink mirror in my first 914 (33 years ago). It was awesome and I wondered what ever happened to them.
I got that and my 'Porsche' bolder tint and front air dam from Anything Limited which used to be in West L.A. Those were the days.... |

I'm on my 3rd wink mirror. Do yourself a favor. Mount some aluminum L channel to the front bottom of the mirror. If you leave the car parked in the sun, the mirror will soften and sag in the middle. Took about 6 months but has 3/4 sag in it. I screwed L channel on my new one. 12 months and no sag.

Oh, and bend the L channel to hold the right (passenger) side adjustment screw. This will stop it from breaking the embossed bolt off.

Good advice Mike! I'll get to that sometime, as of right now the car is never parked in the sun (I park it in a warehouse at work).
