The 75 1.8 F.I. was my 1st 914 baby. Stacey ( @Fatboy007 ) owns it since 2017.


Oh nice! I did speak with the owner for a little bit. Glad to see that he is a member here.

He was at the Temecula Fun Day at Oscar’s former ranch.

So no paint on Saturday, no paint on Sunday but Monday was my day. I left work early to go paint the car, this time without any problems. I'll leave the car in here for the rest of the week and on Saturday I will paint the doors and trunks.












Beautiful!

Thank you!

Went down the other day and removed all the paper, I couldn't wait to see what it would look like. I'm getting ready to paint the rest of the parts this weekend.

@autopro - Pedro, Terrific work and color; is that Adriatic Blue? Regardless, nothing prettier than a freshly painted chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Love this thread, excellent work.


I have some of my refurbished GT Modified front & rear trunk hinges at plating. Should be back by next Wednesday. So if you are interested I'll have plated (Yellow Zinc), raw bead blasted, or primered available.

PM me if interested

These would look great on your 914

Thanks, Glenn and Robert!

Cairo, thanks for the compliments. The color is from Porsche and it's called Shark Blue paint code D5C. I agree a bare painted chassis no matter the car is a thing of beauty.

It does look a bit like candy Dion, I'm not a flashy color for a car kind of person but my wife and kids helped pick the color. Wife says she will be driving this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Got a little bit impatient and started putting some parts on the car. Brake lines and rebuilt brake pressure regulator from PMB.

Rebel Racing front bushing set installed. I used JB Weld to apply the races provided in the kit to the A-arms. I love how silky smooth they feel. New ball joints installed.

Assembly of the front end continues, my goal is to get it off the stand I built before it gets too heavy.

A-Arms and Sway Bar from GR German Parts Restoration installed.
