My first choice would always be the color that it left the factory as. My favorite 914 color is Adriatic blue.

Sorry to disappoint you all, this morning I called my painter and took it all back. Its going to be as original as it could be. Color is Silver (L96D).

Sure I am disappointed to myself, I was not able to do against my brain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
But this only means that there will be third 914 and it has it all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) big engine, flares and Tornado Red painting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

ps. askt painter not to answer my calls next two weeks so it's impossible to change my mind again..

I am a bit confused about color of -70 914-6 bottom. Should it be body color or what? Read all threads about it but could not be sure.

I believe body color is the way they left the factory. However, it appears that the color was not applied as heavily or evenly across the bottom. When mine is sprayed it will go body color as nicely as the exterior.

Hi, its been a while but soon begining with my six. I painted it one more time, this time properly. Color is still Tangerine, best for my taste!

Question: from where I find pics of original sound proof carpets (whats the right term?). And where to purchase original or close to original material?

Here are the original photos of your interior. This is the original. If you want "original" sound proofing you would want to replace with the tar floor stuff. Here in the US you can get something similar in the roofing section at our local hardware store. I didn't want anything that would retain moisture so I went with Dynamat on the floors and back firewall and then put the original back pad and sound pad back in.

Here is a recent discussion of the topic.Floor Tar

Yes, it was pure fun to remove orig tar mat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Maybe Dynamat, just does not look original but helps to keep it rost free. As it is now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Jeff, do I remember right, did you change urethane bushings to rear links? If so, are original rubber ones still availeable somewhere?

Yes I replaced the rear with Poly bushings. I couldn't find any stock ones. You could try the Porsche Dealer, I hear they are starting to make classic parts again.

Hello again,
I drag my Porsche body to open floor an started to look what shall I do next. To put floor tar back or not? It’s a car with gf roof so quiet it will never be, what ifI don’t put any sound proofing at all? How noisy it can be? Have anyone tried?

The chassis looks great. The car will be louder without soundproofing but you could always add it later if you can’t bare to cover up the fresh paint just yet.

You don’t have to cover up all the paint. Just the large, flat sections that can vibrate. It can be made to look nice and neat.

I think you are asking for a lot of noise without doing something on the firewall and floors. I will in my car and suggest you use some type fo a self-sticking sound insulation pad, like Dynamat, to go on the floor and firewall. Perhaps inside the door shells too to keep them from sounding "tinny". http://www.dynamat.com/automotive-and-tran...dynamat-xtreme/ Chassis looks very nice. Glad you are moving forward.
