Did they chance the cam when they went to carbs?

There is no Paperwork pertaining to a Cam, but it feels like they did something

I did get a CoA from Porsche and as usual it's an expensive piece of paper without a lot of information. It had the Color & Engine Number. It did show a couple of Options including a Factory Radio which matches the Unit in dash

Some of the Things that I have purchased that are going on the car;

Every Rubber Seal that 914 Rubber Makes
Full Carpet Kit (the better one) from 914 Rubber
Vinyl Roof Kit from 914 Rubber
Carb Rain Hats from 914 Rubber
Really Nice Exterior Factory Mirrors
Custom Carb Linkage with Rod Ends
FI System from Garold ( not being Installed)

I can hardly wait to see her once she is back together. One beautiful car. I really should have kept her, but, nobody ever accused me of being smart.

You made your money!

One of the best colors of blue for the 914! Very nice!

This is going to be a truly pretty car when it is finished. Wish I had a huge wad of cash to send TC's way on this one.

It could be a Small Wad of Big Bills!

The present state,waiting for an additional exertion of devotion and fortitude.
Yes,it has to be blu.

TC is 45 mins away from. I'd consider buying it if he'd get up off his duff and finish it already

Weather is nice, I've been on it all morning! I have to do the Brakes on my Truck now.

Here is how my Guy messaged the Inner Fender (& saved the VIN)

Looks like he made some improvements on the previous damage. Nice work.

Had they just replaced the inner fender, what happens to the vin? Is it cut out from the damaged part and welded on to the new piece? Scenario I hadn't thought of before.

If an Inner Fender is replaced, you'd have to Cut & Weld the VIN plate - I'd think people would bitch about that too - Catch 22!

Looks like you can't win on that one....

That is a tough one for sure. I would think so long as you had the before pictures showing the damaged inner fender, then the picture showing the NOS inner fender, then in progress photos documenting the removal and transfer of the VIN to the NOS piece, that would be optimal.

I understand why you had it done the way you did for sure. I think I would have replaced the inner fender though.

Regardless, I still love this car and the color.
