These are the towers for the newer models. They are generic for many models, you own them, then rent the top and bottom portions from Celette for your specific application. The red parts in the next pic are what you rent. Last pic is the actual 914 parts for the older benched like Ricks and one I'm looking at. I'm also pricing out to build one from scratch and so far, when I calculate my time, the materials, and the possibility of surface grinding the whole table, + the plates welded onto it, it makes the cost of a used or even new Celette look pretty reasonable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) You want to know anything about Celette's just ask....I've got more pics then you can shake a stick at. Rick and I have been going over this issue for quite a while now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Thanks for posting that Scotty. Yes, I just contacted Celette again today. Jenny verified the original fixtures you see there in red were shipped back to France. She double checked. So they were not sold off to a shop here in the US. She is going to price out the bare bones tower set and send me an email with pricing. The set you see in blue covers a range of many vehicles.

I have a swiss made car o liner that is very similar to the celette..
I have 3 towers and hydraulics 2 benches and a ton of fixtures and a Unik lifter..all for under 3k.. If your going to make fixtures the celette is not necessary...I found both of mine 2 separate deals on craigs list...

The old celette fixture where hella stout..the new ones more for checking

There is also a blackhawk bench that is similar and a few 911 fixture for it..

Unless you want to buy new..then cellette

Gonna rent fixtures for this one? Looks like fun. I'd come out and help, but I'm allergic to snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I've had a few setbacks In the last couple years. Hope to get an RFN soon so I can spend more time in the shop. I'm not going to comment on that further for now.

I wanted to include a special thank you to Glenn Stazak. He helped me score a set on NOS front fenders! Wooo hoo!

I now have a left side NOS Euro fender which I will be using on Juergen's car and a set of NOS fenders for my 6. There are still in the factory boxes!

These are late fenders. Couple small differences that are easily erased to make these early style.

There are brackets for the late bumpers and hole for the valence I think.

Hi Rick -

Welcome back and I was wondering what had happened. Those are some terrific NOS parts you scored there. Nice to see you posting and hopefully back at it.

Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Anyone of you that really know me know I am extremely driven. I haven't talked about this before but I had some set backs. Going to Mayo for a surgical consult. May or may not be a candidate. Either way I'm doing what I do everyday. Just some days it's a lot. Had my legs collapse a few times. Makes inspecting roofs scary. Anywho that's enough of that Waaa waaa BS. Not going to let it defeat me. Not going to happen. Don't even comment on it cuss I'm not going to respond.

My friend Chappy gave me an early front clip several years ago before I even had this 6. When I got the car I spent a butt load of time trimming it in preparation for the repair. I had it ready to transfer.

Along came Juergen's 6 in need of a serious front end repair to an otherwise near rust free car. Only reason it needs the work is because some rookie completely spanked the repair. I purchased a 74 shell and planned on using it for Juergen's car. The cost to ship it is way out of control. I bid it up to $ 1100.00 with no takers.
I ended up donating the early front I had trimmed for my 6 in order to get this moving. I am still collecting parts for his repair. But I'm close now. As soon as I can get the parts I need from Glenn. Mark and I can work out the details with regard to his fixtures.

Brings me to my 6. I now plan to use the 74 parts car. I am working out a deal with Garold to pick up a car for Mark from 914 rubber in Michigan and bring it to Glenn's place West of Chicago. I have to collect some parts from Glenn for Juergen's car. So I will have my son pick up Mark's car from Glenn and eventually haul it west to Billings Montana where Mark or who ever he has come my way can swap cars. Crazy car relay but both of us have been unable to get shippers to move the cars at a price that makes sense.

So this will be awhile before my 6 gets reassembled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I had a lot of trouble getting my bare shell shipped from CA. Cost almost 50% more than a running car.

Ya, $ 450.00 shell purchased for the front clip. Add $ 1,600.00 to ship it, then add in the cost to deconstruct it down to a usable section... A nose panel with headlight buckets and reinforcements end up costing 3500.00 before installation... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I guess I got lucky. $500 shell, $1,150 to ship CA to DE. Lat year a running 914 cost $800 for the same xcountry trip.
Still cheaper than rust repair.

I have come to the realization that I have too many commitments in my life. I have decided to put the 6 up for sale. I am posing the info in the classifieds later today. When looking remember this is not a rust bucket. I have collected some parts and pieces that go with the car.
