Last friday I drove to Germany to pick up the last f/g parts I needed for my car
Front & rear hoods, front & rear bumpers
New for $700 , I think it's a good deal
Only part missing is a front valence, but it'll be shipped to me when they are in stock again
the hoods are an excellent fit (that's nice for a change!)
the rear bumper only needed some very minor trimming
not a concours fit, but nice enuf for a race car
The front bumper will need some work, but I haven't looked too closely
The hoods are layed up a bit thick, so I drilled some holes to bring the weight down
I welded some brackets to the car and mounted the rear bumper with dzus-fastners
here's some pics...

That is a good price. Looking good.
look'n good
Lookin real nice. Good idea with the holes, a little bit 'o improve never hurts.
Side question really quick...
Does anyone ever get worried that someone who knows what dzus fasteners are is going to just start taking body panels while you are eating dinner or at a movie?
So which front clip is going on this beast? The 944T front bumper or the teener?
I'm in the same boat as you are, too many little side projects going on right now. Once my rust is under control I will start on the 951 front. If I don't finish one thing before I start another, I never finish anything. Ugh...
Meld a 951 front into a 914?
I hate to say it... but just buy a 951... Helluva lot more power, similar handling, and way faster!
Hey Jeroen,
nice to see progress on the teener! I wouldn't mind to get a ride in that beast when its done
any plans for entering both the 924 and the 914 into the same AX and get a little competition going between you and Christie?
see ya later!
Jacco
good job Jeroen!
looking very good!
brant
some more pics...
yesterday, I fitted the passenger side front fender
I welded in a "Z" profile of sheetmetal to where the stock fender used to be to form a new "gutter"
Then I bent the outer part of it upwards to follow the inner shape of the f/g fender to a seamless fit
And added a tab for the dzus-fastner in the center of it
I extended the gutter to the lenght to the headlight box where it now ends into a triangle (underneath the blinkerlight) for another dzus-fastner
I still need to ad dsuz's at the front bottom and rear bottom of the fender, but that'll have to wait till later
At the front because I will also need to fab a tab there for the front bumper (which still needs fitting work) and at the rear because the fender fits badly there (to the door seam and rocker pannel)
Next will be the drivers side fender
I need to grind off the ratted original gutter first and weld in some new sheetmetal at the headlight box
Wow looks like so much fun. I'm envious.
And the crowed said," Yea!"
