So, I'm in the process of aquiring a 914 project and am trying to plan as far forward as possible, In particular the suspension.

Plan is to modify the trailing arms and turn them into either a 5-Link suspension or uneven length A-Arms. I'm looking for any pics or details on those who have gone this route.

In particular, with an dual A-Arm setup in the rear, what lengths/angles should I use for the A-Arms? What about 5-link? I know the question is a bit vague and I don't have many details at the moment but I'll be working towards finalizing something soon. Appreciate any feedback and PICS.

Chris, please start a build thread. Now that you've posted a couple pics, there are a few thousand guys here who are dying to know more about your car!
Is that the permanent exhaust location? What engine? More more more more!

Hard to tell from the pics... Audi 2.7 w/ 6speed gearbox and boxster suspension?

What are those monster tires you have on it? Looks like you need more fender (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks like an Audi unit to me. Not sure which one, but the oil filter placement and oil pan kinda gives it away.

Oh, and by the way, OMG!!!!
