You're quite welcome....I've already learned something myself - about those bellows....very cool!
Looking forward to the interior rehab.

My 914 Targa top is plastic? No wonder it has a different texture than the 911's top.
I can restore it like Ed did...wow!

Nice episode. They did not mention the brakes or suspension. It is just a one hour show however.

I can relate to that farmer...hard to resist having one of these plus it had sentimental value to him. I still think they will be the next 'collector Porsche' to go way up in value someday soon....

It was a rerun but I watched it again. I like how they didn't call it a 914, they say nine one four.

If i'm going to buy anything air cooled, it's going to be a later 911. I think the 914 is just too small for what I want. I can appreciate that they would be an awesome autocross car if you could twist up the power a bit.....lightwieght, nimble.
