Porsche 914 / 6 GT Build at PMB Coachwerks

While I was at PMB to see how they work their magic on Porsche and Ferrari brakes, I checked out the other side of the shop - PMB Coachwerks. Eric and the team were building a legit GT tub and working on an early 914-6 (serial # 41). This video is a detail-packed tour of what goes into these special cars.

Another great video- what a treat to see “behind the scenes” in the PMB shop!👍

[@IanKarr]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a great place for sure...

[@jacobhunsinger7793]

Thank you for posting this. Great to see the work going on at PMB.

[@IanKarr]

It was fun to shoot, too!

[@budgetoutlaws9978]

Thanks Eric/Ian! Fantastic overview of these cars!

[@IanKarr]

Glad you liked it!

[@graemelliott3942]

Thank you Ian and Eric. That a lot of good detailed information.

[@IanKarr]

That's all Eric. I just held the camera.

[@Schwartzenfleck]

Great video! Underside cooling flaps on a 1970/6? Damn Eric I thought I was the only one who thought of that! :D

[@IanKarr]

That Eric is a crafty one ;)

[@TyCarson]

Great video. Lots of nuggets in here for chassis strengthening.

[@IanKarr]

Thanks 👍

[@Mr10usdad]

Thank you too!

[@tedzehnder961]

Interesting! One thing the video guy did, unnecessarily, was point the camera at the person a lot and not as much at the cars. Why?, the cars are the stars.

[@IanKarr]

HA!

[@cheddarmorris]

Wow. Professional.

[@IanKarr]

thanks!

[@Rocco101]

You have to go back and give us updates cant wait to see it painted.

[@IanKarr]

twist my arm ;).

[@Rocco101]

Twist twist twist

[@914rubber6]

Nice job guys!!

[@garlandtube3]

👍

[@IanKarr]

thanks for the thumbs up!

[@pedrokim7435]

Beautiful project! What yellow color code is?

[@IanKarr]

Not sure...but I'm sure if you reach out to eric at pmb performance he'll let you know!

[@porscheguy09]

Looks like there’s a little tire rub on the front wheel well when he’s showing the front suspension and brakes.

[@IanKarr]

I'm sure Eric and the gang have sorted that out by now ;)

[@mobiledevto]

6:27 Those red tye down anchors on the rear struts.. where can i get those?

[@IanKarr]

Def reach out to Eric at pmbperformance.com about those.

[@crtupper]

Just saw this ... is there any follow-up as it was built?

[@IanKarr]

Hopefully soon. The car is incredible.

[@laserleftfootttt7683]

I owned a 914. It got totaled in '87. After pointing out all those 914 rust prone areas, I have a headache. I drive a rx-7. It feels like a stationwagon compared to the 914.

[@IanKarr]

Hope you were OK after the accident. Never too late to get back into the 914 world!

[@laserleftfootttt7683]

@@IanKarr collapsed lung, blood in the chest cavity. A Denny's waitress ran a red light taking her husband to the V A hospital in a 1973 ford galaxy stationwagon. Everyone blamed the porsche guy because he's got $$$. 914 was a fine little car, but that rust on an old car. Why not just get a miata? It doesn't come close.

[@IanKarr]

laserleftfoot ttt wow. That’s crazy. Thank goodness the 914 had enough heft to protect you from more serious injury...or worse

[@taketheredpill1452]

Ask some f'n questions. Help us lay people understand the terminology and intent behind some of these changes. What does back pressure look like in the engine, what does it sound like, how could you tell, etc....

[@IanKarr]

thanks

[@barrygreenstein2816]

Great video only problem is I have a 914 which I’m going to make it look like a GT but mine is gonna look like crap compared to yours . That is unless I win the lottery

[@IanKarr]

It's not a contest ;) The "after" video of this car will post in a few days. enjoy the ride!

[@marklangren3142]

M caliper is it steel or aluminum

[@IanKarr]

Not sure, but reach out to Eric at PMB.

[@marklangren3142]

M came in both but at this time it would be aluminum, this was not the correct Caliper for stock 914 6

كيفية تركيب فرامل اليد

[@IanKarr]

تحتوي فرامل الانتظار على عدة مكونات. الرافعة ، والكابلات ، وخلوص التنفيس في الفرجار الذي يحافظ على الأشياء مشدودة. من الأفضل الحصول على دليل Haynes الذي يصف العملية.
