I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

I really would have liked to seen more on the motor mount. impressive keep up the good work. Appreciate the comment. Feels good to know I inspired someone. This has been a big project, but if you just keep doing instead of thinking, you'll get it done. I haven't had much time lately to work on the car. It about 95% complete with the exception of paint and bodywork. I completed the front swaybar install and got my Fuchs mounted. Still haven't taken it for that first drive, buts its ready and will hopefully get a chance this weekend. When I do I will post some pics of the cars current state. I finally decided on a paint scheme. I will be copying the BMW M1 art car by Andy Warhol. Brushing on the art pattern and covering it with a clear. The only panel which will remain a solid color will be the targa roof which will be smooth and gloss back. I'll be glad to send you more pics of the engine mount. Justshoot me an email. Hope to be posting some new pics after the weekend. Regards, Michael |
