Alby356 Posted 3November, 2021 Report Share Posted 3November, 2021 Hi there, new to the group, thanks to Craig Sedgman, I have a rusty 1974 914 that’s in a slow process of being restored. It won’t be a concourse build, it will be a daily driver build. You can follow it on Instagram @alby914. I’ve also got a massive Porsche memorabilia collection again on Instagram @alby550 Looking forward to picking your brains throughout my build cheers 911CSR, sjm, SteveF and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 4November, 2021 Report Share Posted 4November, 2021 @Alby356 Welcome. you’ve got the correct colour! can you tell us what your doing with your rust issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alby356 Posted 4November, 2021 Report Share Posted 4November, 2021 Hi Brian and thanks. Where possible I’ll cut and patch. If the area is too far gone, hell hole, I’ll order replacement panels from Restoration Design in Canada. The car is drivable now but has way to much rusty to be safe. I’ll keep you posted. Cheers This is how rusty! IMG_1032.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IXLR8 Posted 14November, 2021 Report Share Posted 14November, 2021 On 03/11/2021 at 19:27, Alby356 said: It is unfortunate mint and original 914s are next to impossible to find. I was looking for a 1974 914 2.0 with the chrome bumpers and I looked for a while. They are a blast to drive (I drove a new one at the VW dealer I worked for) and one would have been a lot cheaper than the 991.1 Carrera 4 GTS I ended up with. I always called them a go-kart with a roof. If that is a 1974, would it not have chrome bumpers front and rear? I thought the 1975? and 1976 had the rubber bumpers.

R33dy Posted 5December, 2021 Report Share Posted 5December, 2021 Hi Team, new member who just got his first P car. it’s an 86 Aussie delivered cabrio. The Cancan Red interior takes some getting used to but I haven’t seen many others. The car needs some love so I will be asking lots of questions and hunting parts.

Coastr Posted 5December, 2021 Report Share Posted 5December, 2021 The color combo is awesome. Looks like with a bit of love it will come up nice inside. Life's too short for boring interiors. I wonder if you can find a new carpet set to more closely match the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobCarrera Posted 21December, 2021 Report Share Posted 21December, 2021 Hey guys, first post for me and to show off my new (to me) Speed Yellow 996.1. I've had it for just over a week now and couldn't be happier. It's had a very easy life with only 84,000km on the clock and could pass as a two year old car. The condition is what sold me on the car after being very close to settling on a 987S, I only went to have a look at this because I'd never driven a water-cooled 911 and wanted a basis for comparison (hated Yellow and the owner was asking waaaaay too much for it). He had it for 12 years and had looked after it by only putting on 28,000km in that time. It is completely stock with the only mod being the window tinting. Having said that it does need ALL of the things that these cars need at this time in their lives like: IMS, RMS, clutch, upper and lower control arms, brakes, engine mounts, plus a few smaller jobs. The plan is for it to go in and get the IMS/RMS/clutch and rear suspension done in one hit some time late January. I've had EMD Automotive in Carringbah do the PPI, so they'll most likely do the work for me unless anyone has any suggestions. I also have a list of things that I'd love to do as well, first being the gundo hack, as it is way too quiet for a 911. I may do a short-shift as well. Any advice and guidance is welcomed and much appreciated. Troubleshooter, Stepo, sjm and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobCarrera Posted 21December, 2021 Report Share Posted 21December, 2021 Many thanks!!...and I intend to. Has anyone here bought the Fister mufflers from the US? I've been thinking getting them instead of modding my existing mufflers. I've read that some people haven't liked the gundo hack. It seems that some are done better than others, were I think everyone who has Fister mufflers are wrapped in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
