Went and picked this up last week with the girlfriend. I got to buy the car, she got to drag me into every shop on Chappel St, Melbourne...man theres a lot of shops on that street.
Anywho, Id NEVER driven one of these things before. It meant for a nervewracking drive out of Melbourne up to Sydney. Still to get plates on it as the lady removed the personal plates before I purchased. It needs a couple of front suspension/tie rod boots replaced. Anyone know of Vintage friendly pink slip shops in Sydney?
Cheers,
Steve

Its a Porsche 914/916 depending on what engine it has..... and it should handle great being a mid engine design

916s had diffrent wheel arches.

Hi

You look like a tall guy, how do you fit in it? Nice car BTW.

Steve

Hey, nice one Hutcho. I see your mood is Hyde - now you got your new ride does this mean there`s a bit of Jeckyl to be expected from you?

Yeap see what you mean bout the rims, Yeah Gasburners would be very cool...........

2 ltr's look good on these too. Nice pick up

Thanks Guys. Well, Im about 5'11. It does have a very low roof line. Just below my belly button. It really does feel like your ass is on the ground when sitting in it but once your in, its very roomy! You can stretch your legs straight out in front of you and theres still more room! Like being in a go cart. Sticks to the road very well.
Couple of bits and pieces I need, Ill have to give Richard a call.
Thugbug/Towdster...there was definately a bit of Jekyl coming out after 4 hours of shopping.
11Cab, That is one expensive VW/Porsche!
Yeah Ol, see! Man, Ive been looking and asking around everywhere and I cant even find a set of Rivieras! Where have all the wheels gone? Grey, Id LOVE a set of 2 ltr Fuchs.....got some? ;-)

there are a copy of sets of 2 ltr rims about, I think a few trader around have the repro ones, I'll try and dig up any info I can find.
How easy is it to go to 5x130 on that??

Nice 914, I had 2.0l wheels on my beetle. they were american eagle repros, and were great value.
check out classic vee dub. They list them, but currently out of stock. Might be able to get them in for you

Thanks, guys...

I have always liked the 914/ 6 i always thought they looked like they were going backwards all the time

and RED is always fastest get some gas burners

If anyone has any Rivieras, 2ltrs, Gasburners, 16' Fuchs, Mahles etc let me know! I dont car if theyre 4 or 5 stud!
Ta...

I saw a real sweet 914/6 at V force today. But they do sit low. Reckon you`d need one of those jason lift chairs to help you out of the cabin.
