It's a beautiful day in Northern Nevada. About 50 degrees and sunshine. I took the car for a drive to evaluate a possible drive to Medford, though, I may have to trailer it as I might have too many people going.
My last trip out with it was in October before the snow and I took it up the hill to Tahoe (about 12 miles). For a while on that trip, I had a 911SC trailing me. Then, he backed off.
Today, my first stop was Costco to get some nitrogen in my tires. As I was chatting with the manager, an older guy walks up and says " hey, I chased you up Mt. Rose Highway last year. I lost my nerve though and had to slow down. That thing really handles! You don't even touch your brakes!" Great guy. Retired and a PCA member but doesn't do events. We're getting together to look over his SC later today...
Spring is coming my friends! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Finally got around to measuring this up and drilling the holes. I work too much!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Now I just have to put on the VW Porsche 914-6 emblem and the rear Garvey light! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)



Oh, it never ends...

You'll also need either a 1970-1971 rear bumper—or a GT bumper—now that you're getting all those details right back there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Great to see you on Saturday, Rob!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I'm realizing that the details never end Pete... I ordered the emblem from AA today and then realized I should have checked with Rich Bontempi and I could probably have picked it up personally.

Your car looks amazing Pete! I'm serious about the seats too. PM me if you want to sell them. As I said in that RGruppe thread, too bad they made you leave for driving a 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

So I have finally captured the elusive 914-6 VW Porsche emblem and it is the real deal. One of the differences between the real and reproduction is that the real one has a part number on the back.

I am kind of liking the gold, so spray chrome may not happen. Of course, I'll need to replace the engine lid letters with gold.

Hi Rob,
You need a Rear Fog Light for more concourse bling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Eric has one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Tom


Tom, you'll be glad to know that Jeff Bowlsby has agreed to make me a wire harness for the rear fog light. That is one of the last things I need to install the rear fog light or "Garvey Light" as has become to be known... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I thought the engine lid lettering was a USA thing?
Maybe leave them off when you install the VW-6 emblem?

Harvey! Is that true? You'd be one of the people who know. Harvey Weidman everyone. Proprietor of Weidman Wheels who started out in the parts department at Sierra Porsche-Audi in So-Cal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) which by the way, is where my 914 was originally sold!

Just spent (wasted) an evening looking at every picture I could find. Looks to me like the Euro cars did have the P O R S C H E letters on the engine lid. I wonder if any of our Euro members can confirm this?

Searching Armando's site, I can't find a single real GT with engine lid lettering. Perhaps they removed it as unnecessary weight?

Here's another data point for no Porsche lettering on the engine lid of Euro 914's.

http://www.p914.com/p914_badges_letters.htm

Oh and BTW....your car does look great.

You may find that your 914-6 VW Porsche badge gets really close to your rear deck lid bungee.

I told you I was throwing a wrench into the werks..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
As I remember there was something to do with the franchise agreement in the ROW.

Thanks Harvey! It does appear to be true though. Best information I can find, only badging on the Euro models is the rear badge.

You can strip the gold and expose the silver with easy off oven cleaner.

I actually like the gold once I've seen it on the car Mike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

European cars NEVER had letters on the engine grill.
