Is that the stripe a certain less than knowledgable "doctor" sold as a rare factory option - in fact it was so rare that the factory didn't even know about it?! Good Lord do I hate that guy. Very nice looking car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Thanks. There is a ton on nights sleeping on the couch, busted nuckles, and PO horror stories.
The stripe came from AA. I paid only $10 for it. Too bad its peeling off now. It seemed to be made for Porsche. The bag had VW AG on it. I was at the "Doctors office" today and he said Quote.."All e-bay useres are thieves and I hate them all!" I overheard him yelling at his staff about e-bay and paypal. Just think, he was about to sell me used junk, again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Yack.gif) So, what do I win for being member 1200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks for the welcome! Barry |

Figured I oughta get a picture of my projects up here.
Project 1 is the easy project (I hope). Just needs some minor welding and the carb setup put back on. Then a new paint job. The PO put one of those 20 ft. paint jobs on it....to cover flaws I'm sure, one of which I just stumbled upon....more on that in another post. I really like that aubergine color....hmmm. (IMG:http://www.dja3.com/914club/project1.jpg) Project 2 is a roller that needs to be torn down completely and rebuilt. There's a bit more rust on #2. (IMG:http://www.dja3.com/914club/project2.jpg) |

Thanks Aaron. You'd love this one, and it will be completely finished this winter. All that is left is really small stuff, just weekend chores. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Bought them $2.00 each on Ebay. They fit better with my budget than the Panasport I was looking for.

Serge- WOW! I really like the look of that single color! What color is that? It looks awsome, just really clean.

Thanks
The trick is to take pictures when the sun is low. The car was that color when I bought it and the closest match I found for it is some kind of GM dark grey. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

I had a '74 Beetle in the late 80's which my father painted a GM color "dark charcoal" was what the paint shop told me it was called. It looked exactly like your 914. I loved that color.

Washed the car today. The wheels are Racing Dynamics for a 930 turbo. The rears are9.5/17 with a 20.5mm offset with a 255/40/17 tire and I'm using a 1" spacer on these for clearence on the inside. The fronts are 8.5 with a 13.5mm offset and a 235/40/17 tire with no spacer.
I've owned the car since 1984 and have been working on it for the last year. I installed a 350 chevy that I built from a bare block. I built all of my conversion mounts and brackets myself I Did the 5 lug conversion with a front suspension and brakes from a 86 911 on the rear I used vented rotors and the stub axles from the 911. I also used the axles from a 89 all wheel drive 911 and made adapters for the 901 transaxle. I've been driving the car for a few months now. Was even brave enough to take it on a 1000 mile round trip a few weeks ago. Bob Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
