Nice- you'll enjoy it!! BTW, I highly recommend the Rennshift- wish I'd put it on my car a long time ago. I just did the shift lever assembly itself and that made a HUGE improvement. Did not do the rear update as I had already put on a '73 sideshifter.

You guys are killin' me. Great pix. A 914 with a 3.2....... perfect combo.
Frodefe, are those steel or glassfiber flares? My favorite color with a 3.2.....oooooohhhhhhhhh. This is on my to do list, at 60 I better hurry.
I need to sell some of my cars, no room left.

@ cal44
Hi, the flares are steel.

Will update with more photos in the near future.

Thanks for the feedback. It is not a car for the shy - this car really gets noticed

Hi,
The car is at the paintshop. The roof was to glossy and I wanted to correct some minor flaws.
I guess I will have it home, in front of the camera within 8-10 days

- and I live in Oslo, Norway

Beautiful car. I hope my signal orange '73 looks that good when I get done. It's something to aspire to.
