sorry I feel better now.

you should warn people before posting that...


we can only hope that it's a one of a kind, never to be reproduced


do what you want, not my cup o' though...

last pic kinda cool... engine/trunk...

Posted by: Ferg Jul 20 2005, 12:32 PM

Wow, other than the paint scheme and headlight area, me like!

I've never seen it or any body kit like it before.

Where did you find that???

Posted by: DougC Jul 20 2005, 12:42 PM

Hate the paint job but love the profile.

I should have said paint "scheme" because it's a really good "job"

tell me thats not made of steel

That would be too cool...

Posted by: MattR Jul 20 2005, 12:55 PM

Front fascia taken from a camaro??? Side scoops look like boxster. The rest appears to be hand made.

Posted by: Scott Jul 20 2005, 01:04 PM

Paint doesn't thrill me but the profile is killer. I wasn't going to flare or modify my car but if I could find a kit like this available I sure would. Please let me know what you find out.

Posted by: 736conver Jul 20 2005, 01:06 PM

Yea that has to be one of the better kits I have seen. I wonder who does make it. Was the owner around??

Posted by: bondo Jul 20 2005, 01:12 PM

What happens when you roll up the windows?!?!

By far the best butchering of the targa bars I've seen, but it's not really a 914 anymore.. the door handles are all that's left.

HOLY BATMAN

Posted by: BIGKAT_83 Jul 20 2005, 01:35 PM

Man I like that thing. Its the best job of a hot rod 914 I've seen. Alot of time has been spent on it.

I'd like to take it to the next PCA Parade.

Those ol' guys would shit....

Like it or not, someone has done a very nice job of it. I agree with BONDO, nice sail panel/targa bar treatment (from the side view anyway).

The height of the lights, what with they're being illegal and all, make it cop bait. Other than that, it's a nice effort (if you don't mind the paint scheme). The Cap'n

i don't like the looks of it, it looks like a toyota supra... but I appreciate the amount of work it took to make... just not for me.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Jul 20 2005, 03:14 PM

OMG - mattr is spot on...

looks like a 'maro front end....boxster side scoops....

Posted by: Midtowner Jul 20 2005, 03:43 PM

It almost looks "Foosed".

Posted by: bondo Jul 20 2005, 03:50 PM

I just took a closer look.. Why keep the headlight notches in the front trunk if no headlights are there? And KYBs? Ugh. The only hope is that they're only there to hold the car up for now (since it's clearly not quite finished)

there's not much left you can identify of the 914 on this car. I also appreciate the workmanship, more info would be nice. I promise you will recognize the 914 in my Neo914 styling...

I may post the HID headlights tonight...

Posted by: jonwatts Jul 20 2005, 06:04 PM

So which one is that, Fast or Furious?

Like a lot of people here I do like aspects of it. The side scoops look like new MR2 to me, not Boxster.

Luckily it's only a model (nice photochopping, Gwen).

Posted by: Mr.C Jul 20 2005, 06:04 PM

I really like it. One of the best attempts of a hot rod 914 that I have seen.

I seem to remember somebody saying that there was a top secret project going on that they couldn't talk about. Something about pushing the limits or something like that. I wonder if this is it?

Wasn't it 914RS that removed his side wondows? I doubt this thing has any. Come on Loser tell us where you found this!

it needs the windsheild layed back

but i do like the shape

Posted by: Dr. Roger Jul 21 2005, 09:43 AM

Driver can't be over 5' 7" with that raked down roof line.

Camaro fenders and front seems like an SS version of mini-me. (chopped and channeled)

With all that time into the body I wonder why they didn't do a trick suspension?

$20,000 for body work and paint.

$150 for struts.

Like it was stated already. It's probably not done yet..

My car has twice that much clearance and I still need to watch out for pavement changes.

A friend of my dad's sent me the link. Here it is http://www.carsbybobby.com/.

Posted by: bondo Jul 21 2005, 10:50 AM

Yup, no windows in the doors. And a stock mirror.. that seems odd.

Posted by: turbo914v8 Jul 21 2005, 11:02 AM

Side profile kind of looks like an old version of the GT 40.

Posted by: URY914 Jul 21 2005, 11:15 AM

What the hell is this bar for?

To keep you from getting in the car?
