All steel. The headlights and tailights give it away!

It is being built by a shop here in SoCal that specializes in early Mercedes restoration. One of the guy's who works there is a 914 fan.

Purdy.

1.7 D-jet?

Posted by: Mark Henry Jun 5 2006, 11:56 AM

WOW!

I don't think I've ever seen a re-body or "kit" that I like...but that is sweet!

Who ever did the work is a hell of a metal masher.

Damn I've gotta move to Cali. ...Awesome freekin car except for the 80's throwback taillight lines.

Posted by: Mark Henry Jun 5 2006, 11:58 AM

Yeh...details please!

Posted by: sanman Jun 5 2006, 11:59 AM

best redisign I have seen on a 914

Posted by: Vacca Rabite Jun 5 2006, 11:59 AM

That is the first that I have seen of it. Until I saw the head on shot, I would not have known it was a 914.

Now there's restyle I can honestly say I like. Just a little too Enzo'ish but very nice work.

Pimp My Ride.

Posted by: LvSteveH Jun 5 2006, 12:41 PM

I can't imagine how much $$$$ it took to do that, very impressive.

Posted by: 1970 Neun vierzehn Jun 5 2006, 12:45 PM

Itsa Lamporshotus.....yea, that's the ticket! Yea, my brother's wife's nephew's girlfriend's father had one. Drove it a couple years ago, yea that's it! First saw it in that car magazine, Road & Driver, err, Rodent Track, yea, that's the ticket.

Seriously though, with coachwork like that, the car needs Eye-tal-yun-looking wheels, not hot-rod rims. Pretty car though.

Posted by: dflesburg Jun 5 2006, 12:52 PM

doesnt look like the top comes off. that stinks. Other than that, its hellacool!~

Posted by: fiid Jun 5 2006, 12:54 PM

That's gorgeous - wow.

Posted by: Brad Roberts Jun 5 2006, 01:14 PM

I think it has a Lambo "flair" to it. I also believe it to be the first re-body of a 914 that I honestly like.

Not sure about the top. I'll try to get more details.

Looks cool....hmmmm, where I have seen that front hood look before? Steve

Posted by: zymurgist Jun 5 2006, 01:31 PM

Yeah, but what does the hell hole look like?

Seriously, that looks wicked cool.

Posted by: Rand Jun 5 2006, 02:14 PM

Open the hood and show us the flux capacitor.

Posted by: 1970 Neun vierzehn Jun 5 2006, 02:26 PM

Flux capacitor..................NLA, but I've seen 'em on eBay!

Posted by: Rand Jun 5 2006, 02:36 PM

I have to say, that car is WAY cooler than anything Delorean ever dreamed up. Amazing metal work.

Posted by: GTeener Jun 5 2006, 03:20 PM

I like the brushed steel look. And the view from the front looks sexy but the rest of it

Posted by: jd74914 Jun 5 2006, 03:22 PM

that is wicked cool

whats in it?

Posted by: redshift Jun 5 2006, 03:36 PM

WOW!

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty sweet. Air cooled or water cooled?

Posted by: Jeroen Jun 5 2006, 04:53 PM

looks like an awesome job!
I like how they kept the overall lines of the rear fender in tact
the chopped roof looks kinda like a Ferrari Mondial
the side intakes and the venturi-rear are very nicely done
is that all in aluminium?

Posted by: MecGen Jun 5 2006, 05:37 PM

Hey
Whats up with the dash, looks like a mod...
Seroius workmanship here, we'll see it on Ebay for 100K

I've been following kit cars for more then 2 decades, this looks like one of the better ones. I just have a problem with mixing sour crout (sp) with spagetti. Remove the tail lites cover, and do something different. A slight curve on the rear widow pillar flares would remove the Enzo, and compliment the round curves on the front. IMHO

Where's Neo?

Thanx for the pic!

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 5 2006, 05:43 PM

needs 20" spinners IMHO

Posted by: Brad Roberts Jun 5 2006, 05:49 PM

The interior looks "ok" I dont think he is done. Wait? Are we ever done?

Posted by: plymouth37 Jun 6 2006, 08:44 PM

all that sweet custom work and I bet someone will still ask if it's a fiat. check out the stock interior door handles . is there any more info on this car somewhere on the net? P.S. bare metal rocks!

Posted by: Rand Jun 7 2006, 12:07 AM

That did take it on a different tangent for sure. I was admiring the work. Looks good. Another angle... yeah, nice. Then the door panel BAM! I don't get it... The supercar look just doesn't go with the uber-redneck diamond plate that makes me think think the door panels weigh more than the front clip (not really, but you know...)

Posted by: URY914 Jun 7 2006, 07:00 AM

That's diamond plate is alumnium but still looks stupid. Would have looked better if it was just plain smooth aluminum.

Posted by: Pat Garvey Jun 7 2006, 07:36 AM

I agree about the interior - looks like leftover parts from RoboCop. Exterior, even with mix of styles is beautiful but the interior is a total mismatch. Besides, I'd never get my fat ass in the seat!

Posted by: Steve Thacker Jun 7 2006, 08:10 AM

OH BABY! I love it anyway it comes.
The interior needs some serious work. I'm a sick bastard I know

Posted by: mharrison Jun 8 2006, 09:16 AM

If he's a 914 fan why did he build a lamboarri?

Posted by: MW 914 Jun 8 2006, 09:41 AM

I am trying to imagine that interior in Phoenix when it is 110 degrees outside. OUUUUCH!!! Sorta like a solar oven.

Posted by: morphenspectra Jun 8 2006, 10:48 AM

i like it! most body kits look like bunch of crap stuck on a car.this is almost a redesign,and one of the best ones i have ever seen.

Posted by: John Kelly Jun 9 2006, 07:00 AM

Nice design, super nice metal work. The amount of effort that went into that car, I'm not picking any nits.

Posted by: banksyinoz Jun 11 2006, 03:24 AM

this gets my vote

xcept the rear lights and the interior

supra rear lights would have been better

Posted by: JohnnyX Jun 11 2006, 04:01 AM

I was able to look at this car about a year ago. The guy that built it fixed my front end body damage. And, no, he didn't use any bondo! Beautiful metal work. The guy is a master at his art.

Posted by: porsche914gt Jul 22 2006, 11:26 AM

Anyone know who/where the shop is?
I'm looking for a guy that knows what he's doing with metal.
My rear flairs need a tweek.

Posted by: JPB Jul 22 2006, 03:01 PM

Hot and sexy lines. Its funny how some designs are just freely accepted and dazzels everyone right off the bat. I was wondering how much this thing weighs all steel of A36 probably? If it were made of composites, which would be a shoe in if someone got it for plugs for moulds, this neo914 could be a FG or CF winner!!!


Club car design anyone?

Posted by: i love porsche Jul 22 2006, 05:06 PM
