It would be helpful if we could see some photos of unmolested engine bays, with the engine out. Not finding much via the Google machine. I am guessing they were painted all body color? No visible primer or black undercoat? Ours is pretty messy looking.

Yes, body color only. Anything else is non-original (and often hiding rust or other damage).

Did they have firewall sound proofing pad on period correct 914-6???
The above picture does not look like it ever had a pad. |

Real Porsche’s make noise and real Porsche enthusiasts like the noise a six makes. 914/6 didn’t need no stinking noise insulator. Had to pay extra for that glorious noise! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

914 6s had sound deading on the interior of the firewall.
The thin (but heavy !) rubber/asphalt like material was form fitting to the panel and was glued in place. It may have been in all early 914s |

Can anyone recommend a source for spray can touch-up paint matched to color? I'm not going to have time to do a proper spray job and meet our deadline. A decent color match out of a rattle can would still be an improvement for the time being. I found this Automotive Touchup site that says they offer Adriatic Blue aerosol. |

Tower Paint used to provide custom spray cans, do not see them any more on the web. Lots of other choices though.
