Well as I have posted on here, I have lost direction on the 914, after all the rust repair and engine repair, it is back together, painted, and needs about a days worth of finishing. it runs and drives now and I took it out yesterday for a short trip, I dont know if it everybody "bugging" me about the slope nose or if I am envisioning it different, But every ti e someone says something about it I kinda think why bother going any further... When I purchased the car it had the slope nose already on it. I liked the way it looked, I ended up having to completly redo the nose and it is all metal. if you read my build thread you know the amount of work I have put into this car... It has been suggested to get rid of it and get a more origional one.. I think since I know the progress this car has been through Worst case seniro I would cut off my fenders and weld in some stock ones although I think I would remaove the side marker light and repaint the fenders. I have found some good fenders locally. 2 hours away. for a decent price. Should I get htem so if I do end up selling them they can go with the car un installed... or get them and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) them back on. and repaint.. or should I just be happy with what I have and move on and not give a crap less what others say about the nose... on a side note condition being even and in repaired running state like my car what is the $$ hit to having a slope nose.
Here is how she is right now.. |

Thanks for the input, I have my turn signals and driving lights in my fog light lens, no the fog light dont work. I just got back from picking up the fenders, they have the entire wheel house, and are in very good shape not perfect but I didnt expect perfect, they were ridiculously cheap, unfortunate thing was they were 2 hours away, but we made a mini trip of it... now that I have them I can decide what to do, I think you guys are right I'm going to finish it up and drive it for at least this summer. then decide in the winter if its something I want to do then. I had though about selling it but I know there is no way to get anything near what I should in this economy.. I can drive it and if I decide to sell probably get more in a year or 2 or 10... I didnt need the money, just was kinda stuck in my vision... Somehow talking to that guy today and getting those dirty fenders loaded up I have some new inspiration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) i'm going to order some stuff to get her finished for the most part, hopefully the new seals will take car of most of the drips... After spending hours getting the door triangle lined up and sealed ( I thought) Seeing water drip inside was a huge disappointment, and was a major source of my "what the hell am I doing messing with this car" but I am getting a little excited to get her finished...
Here is my driving light solution Brighter turn signal |
