So I find this '70 914 on Craigslist for $700. Says it's only a shell. Has flares and 5 bolt 911 pattern on all 4 wheels. I call, make an appointment for 2 days later. Car looks like it has good bones. I asked "what happened to the engine and trans?" The guy says, "Oh, it runs". So I buy it. It's going to be my DE/track car. That was THREE years ago. So to get the original six off the track, I started to "put" the project together.
I had been collecting parts for a six conversion for about 10 years or so. I have just about everything I need, but, this is a LOT of work and a LOT of $$$ if you add it all up. Wife keeps asking, when is it going to be finished ............. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Here are some pics. As seen on Craigslist in Philly in Feb of 2006. FG bumpers did not come with the car, but a 1.7L engine did. 2 years later after I bought the FG hood and trunk and replica Fuchs |

This week's installment of my project track car as I get it ready for this seasons' events. First one is in only 2 weeks!!
I was able to finish my GT lid interpretation and take it to the shop today so it can be mounted this week. Also got to hear the car run for the first time today. Here's the link. If you have a good speaker system you should be able to hear it just as I did today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsCc8YlDQzk The GT headlight kit works really nicely. Only need to pull knob in the cockpit installed. GT Performance did a really good job getting this installed without a set of official instructions. I passed along a couple of the links on this site depicting how others had done the installation. The rear end is almost finished. Need to fix the nick on the right side of the rear deck spoiler. The rear ride height is still high and wheels, both front and back need to be spaced out. Took care of the oil lines going through the cockpit with steel braid. The hoses are Aeroquip. |
