Very nice indeed. I've yet to colour sand, mop & polish mine but if it looks even half as good as yours i'll be pleased.

Did you book a space for Holland then?milhouse914 wrote:Not as yet, It could be ready for Holland ! If not I will be riding shotgun with Kev
Get cracking with it so you'll have time for a shakedown run or two. Nothing more tiresome than breaking down on an International!!!

Re: My 71 914
The 914 should be with me a week a on Friday ! Am just getting the final orders in ready. Gone for a Scart sport silencer to go with the stainless steel heat exchangers. The gearbox is going to be treated to Swepco 201 oil.
