My trailer has had 9 different 914s on it.....and 1 911. But this one was the nicest by far.

Totally agree that this is the nicest 914/6...Our 89 911 Targa looked pretty damn cool on its trip to the Porshce Parade in Charlotte though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Paul, dumb question, but how do you know the balsa reinforced decklids are the real deal? Are there tell tale signs? How about the flares too? How do you tell the repops from Auto Atlanta and the factory items?

With the metal flares, you can tell the difference before they're installed. Once they are under paint and bodywork, they look the same. - Except maybe to a very trained eye.

Metal Flares are easy to tell the difference - before & after Paint. The Repro are a heavier gauge metal ( which is not a bad thing). I have been fooled before by an installed set as the metal is so thin, it flexes like a F/G Flare

The Lids you can tell by the dis-coloration of the Resin (or Termites (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) )

they do look nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif), probably would use these instead of OEM because OEMs are soooo fragile

Mr. TC,

Beautiful project, your workmanship is outstanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I don't know you, but I want to grow up to be a 914-addict like you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I've got a Good News/Bad News situation - When I brought my car back from the shop in Orlando & put it on the Lift, I found out he had not put the S/C Turbo front suspension ( Aluminum Carrier, Underbody SwayBar & special lower A-Arms) pieces on and instead put the original pieces ( with new Torsion Bars, Custom Bushings, etc) on. It took a couple of weeks for him the find the Turbo parts and I was going to re-do the suspension yesterday. However, the expensive brass bushings have to be pressed-on and I think I would tear them up trying to get them off. They were $$, I don't really want to buy another set, so I'm going to sell the Turbo stuff and find a good thru-body SwayBar to put in my car and keep the existing suspension as-is.

That under body sway bar was not as useful as a thru the body sway bar anyway, so you really did not loose that much. I would change the carrier out to the aluminum one as it is significantly lighter than the metal carrier. When I used the Turbo arms on my car, I cut off the sway bar mount and welded on the U tab to go with a thru the body sway bar. Looks great, and when they are at the stage yours is everything you put back on has significance and is one step closer to completion. Jim
