Here it is, after 1 year, the 914 is painted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) , last things to do are fuchs + tires, and carpet!!! Then, sorry to say it, but it may be complete, still got my baja bug to finish, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'll be rolling to school in one wicked awesome ride!!!!!

the adjuster bolts up front are rusted stuck, we have tried everything, so for the time im gonna live with it and drive the car, but yea, ride height is kind of an issue

thanks everybody

Oh yea, when i went to pick up the 914 from the painter, the fuel pump was fried, the fuel pump in my car is manually turned on when i get in, flip a switch and on goes the pump...well the guys that painted the car left the pump on for 24 hours straight, and the pump burned up. get to the painters and the guy tell me we got it started once but wouldn't start after that one time, no shit sherlock, car won't run without fuel. Had to jerry rig up the wiring to the new fuel pump to get it home, but we made it. Nothing can go right for more than 2 days with this car!!!

Looking good! I really don't get the "it may be complete" statement. You really don't understand 914's do you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

the rims are chevy S10 rims on adapters, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) , i have 5 lug fuchs in my room, just waiting for tires and the money for new rear hubs to install them. I really hope my eights will fit on the rear of my car, last time i went and held the rim up to the brake rotor, it looked like ill hit the fender flare when the tire is on the car!!!

does the rear of the car look right, or is it way to low?
