Mine is a 1.7 originally from Florida. Body very solid and Kevin has looked after all the mechanicals, but the tangerine paint was very tired. Hopefully ready for the spring :

That body looks sound! Tangerine is the best colour for a 914!!

Did you register for the International or does the mere mention of it make you shake?

I love to see a car ready for paint. When do you expect it to be completed?

I think it will be out of the paint shop in Feb, then we need to put it back together and source some decent fitting rubber. I think it will be on the road in May.LMR wrote:I love to see a car ready for paint. When do you expect it to be completed?
Need a proper early 1.7 rear valance. Will swap my pedrini's for one !

I haven't seen the car since December 2015. It needed a bit of metal work, dents, half rear trunk panel etc. Also the bonnet wasn't square, looking at the pic that was sent to me below.............the panel fit looks awesome.milhouse914 wrote:Mine is a 1.7 originally from Florida.
