914 Conversions dot com

This is my Porsche 914-6 3.2L Carrera and how it looked when I bought it in 2002. The car is a California car through it’s existance and has prior to the conversion been owned by a celebrety actor - I will leave out the name for now (uuh, isn’t it exiting )

Equipped with a Getty dash 911 style, the car does not have that classic box dash of 914’s. I had mixed feelings about it at first, but I really like it after all.

The interior is quite nice and original from 1975. The 901 gearbox is well-sorted and shifts cleanly and with no klunks.

Porsche 993 calipers and vented rotors had been fitted - rear is stock 914-4. The wheels are early Boxster wheels that are in fine shape.

There were things I didn’t much care for - plastic rocker panels with raised “Porsche” letters was one of them. But hey, it cannot be expected that everything is just right out of the box, and plus it gave me a chance to do some work to the car and have my own influence shine through.

I have driven the car to two events as it looked in these pictures - that’s right - “looked”. It doesn’t look like this anymore. At all. I will blog about all the changes that we have made to it since I took ownership of it back in 2002.
