As a 914 owner am I embarrassed, proud, confused?

I like that thing a lot. The front end is done well and the paint job is perfect for it. Just imagine cruising 1980s Long Beach or Miami in it.

That is. Amazing.

I especially like the ski-pole-grip shifter.

Too bad it has cancer. I would love to see that with a WRX engine

Does it come with Z Cavaricci jeans or do you have to buy those separately?

I am a bit confused by the roll bar.
Can you get a passanger in the car?
Does that passanger straddle the roll bar?

Agreed. It needs more motor to back up the looks.

Needs a 3.2 - I can't get past the sound of a WRX

I like it. Scary rust, though.

I'm not much on the wheels, but I'm digging the paint job. Someone tell me how to save a copy of the picture for future reference. I would like to do something like that on the RX-7. Probably not the same colors, but a similar design.

I love the wheels, but hate the paint. the baby blue is nice, the slant nose is nice, but I hate the wing...

I see alot of 914s, and that thing actually doesn't have that bad of rust. All of it is pretty easily fixed (easily, but $-ily)

Stripers are a dime-a-dozen at local paint shops......

But I'd definitely enjoy the double-P type working around that diagonal.

Bumpity bump. The auction's long gone but this thread was about a blue 914 with a slantnose 911 front end and some sweet graphics on the sides. Did anyone happen to save the pics?

the fact that you were able to remember this specific thread from 6+ months ago....well its a little scary, and has me questioning if this forum is the right place for me

No, you can stay, that Jay guy's got some issues.

I have issues? There are people on here who like Yugos. In both wholesome and unwholesome ways. I hardly think my fetish for '80stastical Porsches is out of line.

Regarding how I got the thread back, I went looking for it naturally! I specifically remembered my comment about "1980s Long Beach or Miami", so that's what I searched for. I need the pics to settle an argument elsewhere.
