I had a '70 914-6 back in the 70s. Orange and black, drew a lot of attention back then. The screens next to the hood are air inlets. If you're not putting in water cooling, you want all the air you can get around the engine. My '70 had 6 webers, and had to be re-jetted above 6,000 elevation; It would barely run over the pass in east yosemite park so I learned to re-jet early. It had been set up for auto-cross by the previous owner and liked to dance around above 80 mph unless on perfect pavement. Improving the suspension and brakes is a great idea - your work looks superb. I currently have a 981 Cayman S. One of the obvious differences between the two cars are the impact bars front and rear on the Cayman - missing on the 914. Adding impact resistance would be a good idea - you sure don't want to lighten that car.

Sensitive plant!

Nice color combination of interior and exterior 👌⚡️

Like what you have done although I'm sure Georg Hussy doesn't like it. I have 2 914's. Both are '74s, one is a 1.8 and the other is a 2.0. Loved the recessed Porsche emblem. I got rid of the side markers, the windshield squirters, front bumper rubbers and I made my own tops for the bumpers (divinycell,, fiberglass and epoxy). These cars are so underrated. Hope to be done with the second one in a few months.

I think your video rocks! Cool video thanks! Have a 914 74 .. Bought it 20 years ago off a guy who blew the engine. Bought it 1500$ without engine. Still have it and it’s been stored indoors since. Now with more time available the plan is to kind of like you restomod it but more track than street but still want it to look street legal. I’m a race track member and it’s my hobby. Don’t golf! Would still want to be able to go for drive on street. What engines are you considering or is it original engine? Again cool video and your workmanship looks above standard! Great job!

Hi, Todd. I remember when you started this project and every time I see pictures of it and even up until now, with the video. It looks like Porsche will be hiring a new engineer. It's really, nice.👌🏾

Great 👍 look forward to seeing more of the videos😊

Love what you’re doing on the 914, beautiful work

Nice resto , I have a ‘74 with metal GT flare set , 2.7 RS MFI reinforced chassis roll cage and GT tank , painted the identical slate grey nice choice ! Bert

What exhaust? Almost sounds straight piped?

Great color combo!

Bro I literally had the same idea but in a sporty frame,fast reliable and industuctible 😂

Really nice detailed work. It looks terrific

Owned a GOLD '71 1.7 914 car was so much fun, miss mine too.

Beautiful craftsmanship so glad you went over those subtle touches because we probably might not notice but when you point them out those subtle elegant touches really made the difference. Love the flush emblem!

Talk to Wayne Baker

Owned a 76 2.0 914. That car was so much fun. Miss it.

Awesome build. 👍

I've always loved the 914 , great car for a canyon carver like you're looking to build. I'd love to find one of these a build a fun little driver just like you're doing. I've had my 91 964 Turbo with 36k original miles since around 2004, although I don't drive her much but when I do I enjoy her immensely.

I am kicking myself for not picking these up years ago when cheap. Very nice build. Colour looks great. Can’t wait for more content. Really like the 914 6 GT factory race cars. Those flares on the rear look great.

Fantastic project I’m also building a 914 outlaw details on my page as well

I used to walk by derelict 914s in my neighborhood. I always liked them, but my dad was into muscle cars though. He would just scoff at them and claim they were just VWs.

nice build so far

Looks great, are you going with 5 lug rotors on the rear?

Beautiful build! I had a 73' 1.7 back in 1985. It got me all through college and a few years beyond. I have always wanted to do a restomod 914 but there have always been too many other projects. My parents live up in the Lehigh valley of PA so maybe I will be able to see yours at some point

Battery relocated in the trunk?

Beautiful job. Very tasteful.

Hello ^^ I did my apprenticeship from 2013-2017 at the Porsche Training Center in Zuffenhausen, Germany. The car looks very nice and your story is great.

Nice car. The matching spoilers look great. I'm looking forward to more content.

that web edition is extremely rare

love it !! i have a zambezi green 74. love your spoiler. you should sell them!!

Your 914 looks great so far. I am also restoring a 1973 914. My dad bought the car in 1975. So far I have done a 5 lug conversion. I had PMB replate and rebuild the calipers. I have replaced all the bushings in the rear trailing arms along with powder coating the trailing arms and brake disc covers. I also zinc plated the bolts and hardware. I also replaced the shocks and springs. I added turbo tie rods and nw ball joins as well. I am now doing the same with the front suspension. I have fuchs replicas for the wheels. You work is really nice. What did you do with the underside?

Dont accelerate like this whit cold engine ...

Beautiful looking bike, I'm sure you're going to enjoy riding it.

A Schwinn Stingray. Had one when i was a kid. It was one of my dad's outlandish presents to me

je compte acheter le même (l'américa de 2012) avec 21000km au compteur. Elle est magnifique mais j'ai peur de problèmes mécanique on m'a dit qu'il était souvent en panne, moteur fragile, pièces chères, et que devais plutôt acheter le cmx de Honda . Que pouvez-vous me conseiller, merci.

Found one of these with a bunch of additions I'm thinking about getting for $3000. However I'm 6'1 so I hope its not too small for me

Interesting video! Nice bike😀 The panniers can be adjusted, the name is vario cases

Why did you not tell what the wheel & tire sizes? What is the rake ‘ trail for front forks?

Josh, is this you?

Triumph is a beautiful machine.... I had a '68 Triumph Bobber back in the day. It started as a basket case.... great ride. Fast.

Honda CB?

Uma verdadeira café race

Chulísima

I have a 68 Bonnie and a 70 Tr6, love them both, nothing like good ole British steel,

Yah I do have a cruiser Royal Enfield Classic 350 Chestnut 🌰 BS4 🌹and I use it as a cafe racer too

I'd love a full length movie about this tree and all of these holes and the whole story... Great footage

Badass!

I love it all. I am close to doing a 914 that my dad had when I was growing up. Right now I have some Honda CT70 bikes I have restored. Both have larger engines. I also have a 1995 CR250 and a 1985 CR125 that are restored.

What are your plans for the engine?
