(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)I will start a resto thread soon. The flare are staying, What are you guys using as rims without doing a 5 lug conversion? meaning i need some nice 4 lugs rims that will stand out. |

Congrats!
For wheels, Panaports are one good option for 4-lug. You'd probably want 7's and 8's or 8's and 9's, if they make em that wide. |

Post more photos! What'sa the story? that teener's been around the tri-state area for a while. I_Love_Porsche, Aaron was restoring it about 6 or 7 years ago. His hobby's changed from 914s to biking, college and girl friend. He was a great guy to have around. Always helped with wrenching sessions and other acitvites...hated seeing him let the car go. Sold it to Jon or Pegasus down in Linden NJ...I'm sure the owner is happy to free up the space in his garage!! and now Paul will finally bring life back to this clean shell. Aaron had it soda blasted and primed. He might have done all the welding repairs himself. he really had great expectations for autoXing it. He raced his 924...I think that died a slow painful death.... Paul is relentless...I'm sure he'll have it on the road in a couple weeks.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Paul, what I forgot to mention is that you may want to use a panel adhesive between the flare and the body, then rivet it, then glass it or do whatever bodywork it needs.

I didnt and I don't think that II can remove these flares again . They may become unusable if removed. What is my option here.can I try to use something from underneath? |

Hm! I was doing my homework, search the VIN, found the PO and another search took me the his resto thread. its amazing how much efforts he puts into this car, then gave up. That makes me appreciates it more.,, Good to know that there is some great to know how much quality work he put on that roller.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) here is the thread. Have fun http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=13319&hl= |

The project is moving alone right, the passenger side is 90% done and primed. looking foward on completing the driver's side so I can move to the hood and trunk. did I mention tat i cracked the winshield on the part car? now i need a new winshield. can be pretty hard to find one onn the east coast. |

I didn't have a chance to do anything today with the rain all day, and work. I did a bit of work yesterday, on the other side, sanded, primed, etc....
This is my first time doing this with no guidance. I hope I am doing this right. both sides are almost complete, just gotta go over them with glass, then I will attact the rear/ front hood and engine lid. I got my boxter 16 rims today and they look great, .. looking for a 911 front suspension now, or I will be using a 4 to 5 lug adapter. |
