I have been working on this car for the past 5 years to bring her to her current state. She started life as a 1.7 with the appearance group and steelies. The one PO upgraded her to a 2.0 with Webbers and fake 4 lug Fuches. Being rather lousey at shifting by feel, I had a side shift installed. She looked kinda fast, but still more resembled a sheep in wolf's clothing, so decided to take a 1 liter jump + a couple of cylinders to give her a bit more umpf. That started an avalanche of changes from which I am still trying to recover.
She has the full Elephant polybronze setup, and was converted from 4 to 5 lug with early 911 light weight calipers. I went with 6's and 7's. The 7's of course necessitated the rear fenders being pulled - but I like the narrow kind of understated look, not to say there aren't plenty of gorgeous flared cars on this site. To help a bit with air intake and cooling I added a GT style engine cover which had been through a fire. It also got Camp 914 front and rear lenses and drivers. Also got from them the LeMans seat which sure beats the hell out of the original. The 3 liter was freshly rebuilt with some mild internal mods - better oiling, hotter cam and is estimated to put out about 230 hp at the crank. It has Webbers on PMO risers and a sport exhaust. Loud pipes save lives! Will have to put her on the dyno. Also had a front cooler added which gets its air supply from the fog light grills - never thought that would work, but it does. The problem rather than overheating is getting her up to temp. Won't bore you with the other details. On to the pics ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to all that answered my 100 questions to make it possible. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

Forgot to add that I blacked out the PORSCHE script between the tail lights just cause I like black against silver and don't like advertising more than I am already.

Combo came from New Vintage USA http://www.newvintageusa.com/bigmarkdesigngauges.html They stand behind their product 100% and are very responsive. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat. __________________ |

What is wrong with this picture? My 1.7 speedometer goes to 150 and it has to speed of 109 ( downhill!) and your speedometer goes to 120 and yours has a top speed of 150!
Your teener looks awesome! |
