Ebay V8

Are the headlights legal on this car? Isn't there a regulation on height? (or lack thereof?)

I think headlight are on a State by State basis. I don't think you would ever really find a cop that would write you up for it.

They may write you up for trying to sell a car on eBay and not at least dusting it off first. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Secures the engine from leaping out of place, like putting a lead on a puppy.

They are for holding the flux capacitor before going to warp.

In California, headlights have to be DOT approved and mounted not lower than 24" above the ground, measured at the centerline of the element. Max height is 54 inches, making that jacked up pickemup truck legal, even if his headlights are higher than the roof of your car. In fact, they may be higher than the top of some driver's heads when they're standing outside their car! The Cap'n

I thought it looked like most everything was done with care and things looked pretty good until you guys through in the negativity (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) The body kit just really kills it for me though.

It looks cool on the out side I geuss, but looking at the workmanship with the mechanicals makes me think that the glass work might be second rate too. How much rust do you think was just glassed over? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Would you pay that much for a 914 that probably has more than 100lbs of bondo on it?

Thanks, Cap'n, for the answer to my original question. I guess I'd need to inquire here in OK if I was interested.

Do those U-bolts on the engine bar serve as motor mounts?
