Well Elliot, looks like Thomas called your bluff, should this ad be deleted now?

Posted by: BKLA Jan 31 2011, 01:36 AM

Cool "rat rod" Thomas!

Stick around and finish it!!!

Posted by: proto31 Jan 31 2011, 03:55 PM

I've seen this car and it's progress over the last year and half, the craftsmanship is second to none. Thomas' description nor the photos do this car justice. The attention to detail is amazing, almost every single part installed on that car is either NOS or completely rebuilt. The S calipers were hand polished and re-anodized, new stainless pistons etc, all new bearings, a really cool one-off all stainless muffler, custom stiffening throughout, all steel headlight delete front hood (provision for headlights to be mounted separately), all suspension parts have been powder coated, original 6 transmission completely rebuilt, brand new (just mounted a month ago) Dunlap tires... the list goes on and on. The chopped windshield gives the car a really aggressive look, the rear targa bar was also modify to match the new height of the windshield, kind of like the new Porsche Speedster, this is a fair weather car that just needs to have the final assembly complete. The engine runs perfectly, brakes are hooked up and bled, clutch cable hooked up etc... Really cool project for the right person, if you're interested, start a dialog with Thomas, he'll fill you in on all the details...

Seen this when Thomas was working on it. Someone is gonna get a great car

Posted by: Elliot Cannon Feb 1 2011, 03:17 PM

Thomas offered me $12,000 for the Zonker, so this is payback.

Posted by: hwgunner Feb 9 2011, 10:48 PM

Keep us posted on the progress. Very interesting.

Posted by: JmuRiz Mar 4 2011, 11:06 AM

Coooooool, can't wait to see how it all ends up.

Posted by: BKLA Mar 4 2011, 12:01 PM

Can't wait to see how you finish it out!

Posted by: hwgunner Mar 4 2011, 12:09 PM

I can't wait either. Just got off the phone with Rufino the glass guy and it sounds like he is going to try and install the front Windshield on Monday or Tuesday if he can get it worked out with Thomas as far as time goes. If that is the case i may go down Wednesday or Thursday and pick it up. Will drop it straight off at the painters to ge the doors, hoods and rockers painted.

Hmmm, looks like a trip to LaLa Land is in my future.....

Posted by: BKLA Mar 4 2011, 01:12 PM

I love the idea of a rat rod 914! Minimal & animal!

Posted by: hwgunner Mar 4 2011, 01:18 PM

Yessssss!

Posted by: Lou W Mar 4 2011, 02:42 PM

You'll need to do a progress thread on this car, I've been impressed with Thomas's cars.

Posted by: hwgunner Mar 4 2011, 03:36 PM

That is the plan. Thomas is going to give me all the photos from the build and i will post them with info and then do the same for the few things I need to do to the car.

Just spoke to Rufino about the glass. He has it all cut to match the template he made on Monday, thanks Thomas for sticking around as long as you did, and is going to install on Friday. All that for the grand total of ............... $375!!!!!!!!

BAM now that is what I call a deal!!!

Posted by: AZ914 Mar 16 2011, 10:06 PM

Awesome Jonathan! You need to start up a progress thread over in the 'Garage'!

Posted by: jim_hoyland Mar 18 2011, 05:30 PM

Rufino is one of the best glass guys in So Cal. He's done a ton of 914s and takes a lot of pride in his work. And the prices are very reasonable

Posted by: hwgunner Mar 18 2011, 05:47 PM

He should be finishing up right about now.

Posted by: hwgunner Apr 5 2011, 10:07 AM

Now the real work begins.

This is gonna be one cool car! THOMAS does nice work.

Posted by: scrz914 Apr 5 2011, 10:55 PM

I think so too. Now, pleeeease start at NEW thread for this build. Every time this particular thread pops back to the top of the For Sale forum, I think I'm getting a second chance.
