If I land this house at the end of the month the girls will finally be together & I'll be able to take some newer pics. I have no home at the moment & one is hidden in storage & the other's w/ me... I just bought the 6 in January. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Do the euro lenses belong on a 6? I thought all USA 914's came with the orange lenses. The fixer six I just bought has the euros, but I assume with only one light in the bucket the lens is not stock. Thanks Ted K |

Does not matter if it's a four or a six, US lenses belong on them all, here in the US. In the front, solid orange, no orange/clear "bifocals". Side markers, "warts", are also OEM & DOT, & very orange for US spec. All red & 1 clear, on each side, in the back. No orange at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My six is a 916 clone so I get to Euro her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Not O&H, but informative none the less. Attached image(s)

Let's clarify the lens thing for those who are new to this forum.
US delivery: Front = single orange color turn signal lenses & side markers. Rear = red lenses, with clear insert for backup lights. US = side markers (mandatory), those lenses cited above. ANY variation from those must be documented by the COA, else it's NOT original. No side markers looks nice & clean, but it's not original in the US. Bi-color or clear turn signals are not original in the US. Tri-color rear signal lenses are not original in the US, and imply that the side markers do not exist on the car. I agree, these changes can look cool, but this forum isn't about cool. It's about originality. Pat |

QUOTE(Thomas J Bliznik @ Jan 20 2007, 01:43 PM) Here's a better closeup of an early 1970-6 rear bumper & my 1974 914-4 bumper. Notice the different curve (more straight on the 70 & curved on the 1974). Tom OK, thanks for lens info........now back to bumpers: Since my "new" 1970 6 has the more curved rear bumper, does that mean the original was definately replaced or could it be OEM on my car??? The details may drive me insane before I finish restoring this car. Thanks again, Ted K |

All 1970 914's , four or six, came with the "squared" license plate indent.
At some point that bumper was NLA and damaged bumpers were replaced with the later bumper. |

The "rounded" mean that the bumper was replaced along the line. Could be a major thing, depending on your POV, but try to find a squared bumper that is even reapairable - rare beast & expect to pay accordingly. |

Paul that avatar looks much better. Well, from my quick education here on 914World, I have surmised the following:
1. My rear bumper has been replaced 2. My rear tail light lenses have been replaced with tri-color units 3. Both front and rear valence panels are missing 4. The items above can be replaced with correct units at significant cost for some. 5. I may file bankruptcy before this is over. The bumper does not bother me, and I actually prefer the tri-color tail lenses. All three 914-6 that I tried to buy on Ebay had the tri-color units. I am mainly going to be concerned with the body / rust issues which will become known in full when I dismantle the car. Here she is sitting in my back yard awaiting completion of the new garage. cheers Ted K  |

You have got to be kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . I had no idea. Bumper is now in the attic, staying very, very dry. COA is on the way, but Irish Green & black leatherette is not my cup of tea & I still have no idea where the original engine is & don't want to know! Attached image(s)

Ted, you're gonna have so much stuff to do on the car I would do the bumper originality thing LAST. It's an easy bolt on and it doesn't glare at me like a 916 bumper would...
Good luck and keep us posted. Paul |

QUOTE(1970 Neun vierzehn @ Nov 18 2006, 09:43 AM) Here is an original, concours 914 front end. This would be an "appearance pkg" chrome bumper w/fog lights, circa 1970/71/72. Car belongs to our moderator, Pat Garvey. I know this is from a post of nearly a year ago (post #2), but, it seems that the "concours" front end might be subject to deductions for displaying incorrect turn signal lenses, for the configuration. Can almost make out the amber corner of a euro rear lense, too. Maybe the referenced post should be moved to the Garage Forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) , or at least updated with a current correct photo, so as not to confuse the issue of what's original and what's not. |
