This wouldn't be the first time you have done something like this, would it? Why don't you give us a little bio so we can fully appreciate your work. I think we are going to be following your project eagerly. Al.

Thank you all for the kind words and positive inputs! Very much appreciated!
As far as my constructional skills go; I started working in my uncle's garage in the holidays when I was around 10 years old. From there on things got out of hand and I started building cars ( mainly Honda's) putting engines in no-one had ever concieved possible. That got noticed and gave me a lot of work, which eventually ended up in me starting a business in building race/rally cars. Built everything, from circuit to rally and even Dakar cars... 3 years ago I got sick of not having the time anymore to be able do do my own car, so I left the company and got back to the old days....hobbying again.....( I had the company next to my regular job) So that's where I basically have the skills from......when i found the 914, I was in love immediately. I wanted to do something different, but do it right. I know I could have put her on jackstands and start cutting, but that simply is not the way I do things...... Maybe it's overkill, but eventually this is the hobby...... Thanks Randall |

It may very well be, however, unless I come up with a good soft or hardtop, the weather here is not very favourable to an open car.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Nice setup. Why don't you tell everyone about some of the other cool projects. Like the mid engine Civic project and others. Sounds like it will be a very nice project.
