Wow, nice looking car, Barry!

I think you need to read the posts on adjusting the ride height. Whew, you are sitting waay up there! Lower that puppy down some.

I dunno, rear looks too high to have an engine in it. Otherwise, NICE!

Real clean.

looks like stock beetle height... too high for the car, or like my parts car, no weight on it... but the body sure is PURRRRTY! real nice job!

Very nice. Red is one of those colors that looks "cluttered" with the sail panel vinyl installed... good job!

Has anyone noticed that the ass end is kinda high?

Posted by: 72914S Sep 10 2003, 09:03 PM

Yes the rear is to high. picture taken before engine and trans installed. Sorry just trying to rush it. Did you notice the side marker lights? `68 roadrunner! for that custom look!

"cause I can"

Why is it sitting so high in the rear ??

I cannot BELIEVE OUR club members would ask that kind of question ??

I'm ashamed. And here I thought we where doing so well..

Nice car, even the engine looks pretty.
I did see a picture of a 914 put onto a tracker type frame for a 4x4 once.
It actually looked better than the Cayanne.
I thought you were going for that 4x4 look we might see up here in Northern Ontario in the winter (October to May)
