I don't post here often, but I thought I'd share these photos. I get a kick out of how the car looks with so much junk strapped on top. I got a used, homemade roof rack a few weeks ago and finally got to put it to use today picking up a used crib and changing table for the latest addition to my family, my baby daughter Morgan Lotus Bristol.
The rack worked great and with the huge front and rear trunks my little 914 is extra practical now! BTW - I'm joking about the baby's name. That was going to be her name if I had a girl, but we had a boy and he's named after me... boring, I know. Kirk Bristol Attached image(s)

Nothing wrong with hauling stuff in (or on) a 914! I've seen Christmas Trees, Surf Boards, Kayaks, Skis, Couchs.
Besides 914s have more storage room than any Sports Car I have ever seen! |

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ May 31 2013, 04:02 PM)  I know... and I live in Texas, freakin' truck country!!! I have nine cars and just can't bring myself to buy a truck, especially since I only seem to really need one maybe three times a year. So I have been trying to find other ways around hauling stuff (like taking advantage of delivery deals). This rack will help me with bulky, but light items. Also, we have a baby now, but no minivan for me. Check out the family hauler, these are pics of baby's first ride home. The Fabspeed exhaust bypass with no mufflers puts the baby right to sleep...

It just slides into two slots behind the front seal and then is held in there tight by the roof. This actually came with a standard bike mount, which is how I intend to use it in the future. I have some more work to do to it to modify it to my liking. It just came up on Craigslist for $100 and I snatched it up with the intention to use it as a base to build an even better rack from.
