does anyone remember what my rear wheel wells and fenders looked like? yes the 7" fuchs will fit no rubbing and these look stock but actually are about 3/4" more room than before- first work replacing the arch was Ed at Tangerine Racing when the did the floors and jack points, and they pounded them out quite a bit , all metal work, they just were not paint ready, Mike finished it all off and i am very pleased with the results!
this is the first 914 Mike has done, although last year there were 4 cars he did that were shown at the Hilton Head Island Concours de'elegance couple MG's etc. i hope to be in the car club jambore which shows off each car clubs pics for the year .

While the previous grey primer had some flare, this is way better.

some "flare"? didnt know you were into puns! - but i agree-
while not a full in and out top to bottom restoration, this is now a very nice car, or will be once reassmbled. i think it will show as nice as any 914 out there except for maybe those super nice all original or top upper end full rotisserie restorations, but still very nice- i think if we had finished this during the build off challange it would have been worthy of a top 5 finish.
i wanted a nice clean solid car with no major rust, and in almost perfect mechanical condition, which it is. and now with chrome bumper back dating, all new interior ans a few upgrades here and there( all new lights , signal buckets and lenses, front and rear, all new seals all around, almost al new hardware, there isnt much left. i still want to source some new chrome front window trim, and a few other zinc plated bits from Bruce Stone. The 123ignition distributor should add a touch of dependability and a bit smoother running motor.
I do like my reuppolstered tartan stock seats but would really like to have better side support in the bolsters, so i may eventually get some GTS Classic seats , or at least a drivers side. anyone have a perfect running restored fresh air box/blower??

are you coming to the Okteenerfest?

Mike was like a little kid he could not wait for me to see it, and was like " wait until you see it in the sun! the color is amazing, " etc etc! so cool - he said he had to send the first batch back it was too brown. apparently PPG has a couple different lines or brands they own or sell under, same paint code but very different- this one was perfect right out of the can .

30 days to cure so no cover , no wax, just light polish or buff. there are a few spots to buff up- I have to take it back next month for 2 days, there are a few spot to touch up and he didn't fully paint the under side of the targa bar, he missed this actually he thought it was covered like the top- like I said, he has done many cars, many classics, just not a 914, and I stripped most of it down so he didn't know - no biggie, it will get done- that part was still original paint and even the original plugs for the the rack mounts are still there too. in the mean time I can get all the rest of the stuff put back together, motor , etc etc. lights and electrical , get the wiring run for the head temp gauge. , get the front air box rebuilt and installed if I cant find one out there to save me the time- hello, anyone have one?
