  1. Love your projects CT, there’s nothing there that you can’t deal with and now that you have the knowledge of the other three I’m sure you will make a good usable 914 out of this one. You can do it!

  2. Oh gawd those bumpers… Go European…
    PS. Apart from the bumpers I always thought the 914 was a beautiful design. 911 owners look down their noses at the VWness of the 914. Tell them it is three extra numbers higher than a 911… Mind you the 912 was a number higher too.. It is a classy design and only a nut would say otherwise. They drive well too. Not fast of course but nice steering and fun. Who cares about fast?

  3. Is that black insulation tape factory…? Ha, ha, we don't think so… Sorry, I couldn't help it.
    This was utterly brilliant to watch. Fantastic stuff. I was right there with you!

  4. Hey mate, nice to see you're keeping busy! The box you found in the footwell is a 'CAT & EGR counter switch', whatever the hell that is, and is no longer available new! I just googled the numbers on the front. Good luck. Julian.

  5. I Almost bought this car thinking it would be a better base for my project while the one I have now could be a donor since the cabin is rusted out.

    I'm now very glad I didn't. but very glad you did so I could watch someone else suffer alongside me in real time.
