This 6 didn't come from the factory with sway-bars, but I always wanted them. I welded in these cool mounts for the brackets before paint. They look like factory, at least to me...

Perfect work, and I love your trunk.

When you had the car Media Blasted, did you remove the sealant in the trunk? If so, what did you put in to seal it again?

During media blasting, the pressure was turned down in order to preserve the factory seam-sealer. Only the paint and primer was removed over the seam sealer. There were some small areas under the pan that needed the undercoating to be replaced. Those areas were touched up using Wurth seam sealer with a Wurth seam seal gun.

I'm re-doing that area at this time, and I'm not sure if I want to do rubber under-coating or re-seal.

These Fog Lights are the ones usually used on the early 911's with the thru-the-grill set-up. I know the 914 units are black, but I think these'll brighten up the front bumper area along with new chrome Fog Light grills.

These are the horns that came with the car. I assume they're the original's. I cleaned em with steel wool and degreaser.

The fog's are mounted too.

Got the front stabilizer installed today. New rubber, repainted 15mm bar, old hardware replated in yellow zink.

This six was not equipped from the factory with this option. I hope it will improve handling. The Bilsteins should help too.

If ever a car needed an anit-sway bar it's a 914... even a six. Good work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

(that was the "only" mod I did to mine)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have one on my six as well. It's my understanding that while the sixes didn't come with them, they did have the mounting tabs from the factory, is this what you found? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Mine was on my car when I bought it.

Correct. If you mean on the a-arms, yes. All of the rest was not there. No front hole or rear mounts.

The tabs were on the a-arms. I assume they were there from the factory but I can't say for sure since I've only owned this car since '04.

I did the mod's for the rest of the hardware. BTW, same mod for the rear bar.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. They're a great inspiration for me.
