Photos of my car Options

[Ron914]

Beautiful car!

Replace that cracked trunk roller before it fails completely

I have already bought a pair of those but it looked difficult so I sort of forgot about it but I do have the parts . I have been waiting to ask for help because I ran into difficulty posting photos .

Life will get better now .

I will create a new post when I get to this job .

I have been buying parts for three years now so there will be a lot of posts coming from me soon asking for help finally .

@Ron914

Looks like a reproduction, but I can't see the end of the spoiler at the wheel well. Here's what the original would look like in that area, as well as what the brackets should look like. You can always look for a part number on the spoiler. The reproduction won't have one. Credit to Jeff Bowlsby for these pictures as these come from his website. You can always follow the link I sent you for a detailed description of what to look for.





Your car looks great! Nice to have all of those options. How did the smog check go today?

I see those two holes you probably wanted to see , I don't have them

I forgot to add ,I did not go for the smog check today . emerygt350 suggested I make absolutely certain I have everything in order before going . There are a couple of things I need to verify first . After waiting a couple of years for this I want to pass the first time . I will post and update as soon as I get it done .

Ron,

This is a very nice car. But I do have a couple of suggestions.

1. Replace the plastic fuel lines in the car with a stainless steel kit from Tangerine racing. https://tangerineracing.com/shop/ols/produc...-fuel-line-sets The lines are 50 years old, and like all plastic, they have become brittle with age. 30 plus PSI pressure in old brittle plastic lines in a hot engine compartment can lead to a major engine fire. I know. It happened to Betty and I. Your car is too nice for this to happen. We even did this to the factory six we have, and it is being taken to absolutely bone stock, OEM configuration.

2. LED lighting. Replace all the external lighting with LEDs. Not the junk you can buy from FLAPS. Get the spokeworks LED boards. https://www.spokeworksled.com/914-led-solutions They are easily reversible, require no modification to the lights, and make the car way more visible after dark. Then get a set of LED headlight bulbs from 914rubber.com https://914rubber.com/led-headlight-bulb-set. They make seeing where you are going at night much easier.


These items will save your car and make it much more enjoyable to drive.

Hi Clay thank you for checking out my photos . I have long admired your 914 collection ,wish I lived closer so I could check them out . The fuel lines were one of the first things I replaced . Now' the led bulbs sound like a great idea. I drove my car the other morning to a spot where people near me get together to show their cars every Saturday and it was still dark here @5:45am. I noticed driving over there how poor of lighting my car had ,I should have just turned them off and used the street lights.

Ron,

Betty and I have talked about going to the West Coast Ramble. But they keep having it in Northern California, or Oregon, or Washington. Considering LA is a 3 day drive from here, it hasn't happened yet.

I am glad you put in the stainless lines. Y'all have enough fire issues right now. No need to add another in the form of a burning 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The spokeworks LED light kits can be done in about 2 hours. Even if you have people sitting in lawn chairs ( @betty ) watching, supervising, and telling you how you are doing it wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You have to have the CIBIE halogen light housings for the headlights to put in the 914Rubber headlight bulbs. There are other vendors on here that offer a complete kit with the housings and the bulbs. I just have experience with the 914Rubber ones.

Hope that helps.

Ron, This is what the LED lights look like in the Headlights and the fogs. I have them in my Frogs as well.

This will give you all the light you need

Very bright , I can see why they should be changed .

I will have to tackle that job later as I just want to be able to drive my car .

Hopefully I will pass my smog test I am going to attempt soon .

Thank You

Ron
