Raj, nice -6's! And you own two! I think you should sell the yellow one to me.:) :D ;) I already have made the decision to get a 914 before the prices go nuts. I just need to clear out the garage of a car to make room.

Just to give you an idea of what the roof looks like now
Raj,
I too love the patina'd look. If I had an original paint car, I would keep it that way regardless of the finish. My T has paint from '77 and although not original, is cool because of its age and patina. Those cars are way cool with patina galore. Love the Allard - J2X is my fav. And that 917 was/is way cool at RRIII. Oh BTW, your yellow six is totally the wrong color and I think I saw rust peeking out in various places. Isn't that an oil leak I spotted tool.:eek: I'll be over this weekend to haul it off to the junk yard.;)
I think this thread has gone a little far of field . :rolleyes:
Somewhere after the beautiful 914 :)
I think this thread was for members to post pics of their cars fist picture posts, welcomes, before and after, upgrades etc.
I know when I, and others, log on to this thread we expect a new pic of a new member's car, a new pic of an old member's car... or even an old pic of a new or old member's car...... :D
I think the posts on patina and originality is GREAT but might deserve it's own thread .... ;)
What'cha think lads ??????
Cheers
Chuck,
I think threads of this type tend to wander, and then find their way back on track. I think the originality conversation within the thread is just fine.
I'll be back on track pretty soon, certainly someone will show their original car that hasn't been seen here before, or an example of a repaint and a before and after for us to judge.
No issues to me!
But, MORE PICS please! Love seeing all the cars, particularly those wonderful 914/6's... wish I had kept one of them that I had, and wish I had bought one that I thought about "too long" and it got snapped up.

Raj we need to get Scott in a 914 before he changes his mind.
Here is my stocker somewhere near Area 51.

in an attempt to steer us back on track here is a sneak preview of my new SAMSON-liveried tarmac rally car.
the car has undergone a substantial rebuild/reconfiguration/reclassing since my last rally which, as we say, 'did not end well'.
the car is coming back together as we speak. if the planets align, it should be running by the end of this week.
