Warning: long boring background/intro story coming, you may want to skip to the next post!

Hi guys! I'm new to the world, at least this "world". I stopped by for a few months in the early 2000's and then other interests intervened. I'm not new to Porsches, when I was 15 my dad helped me buy a 1973 914 that was 3 years old. Sounds sweet right? Except this 914 was actually 2 wrecked 914's that had been grafted together. Not too bad right? Except the good "ass end" besides having it's front end crushed caught fire after the wreck. And the good front end had it's ass crushed in a wreck and then the good front end was stripped as a parts car. So in the end I had a bastard of a 914 that was a real project. But I had a "Porsche"!

So to get to the point of this post, I'm building a modern Subaru powered 914 daily driver.

Thanks for the welcome guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Pics as promised.


The pan after stripping the tar, looks much better than it is. Right crossmember is toast as well as the seat mounts. Entire lower area of firewall is gone on the pax side but will be easy to patch in.



The trunk, also looks much better than it is, will require some patches at the rear wall. You can see the really ugly hell hole just peeking in. This would have been a parts car to me a few years ago and it probably should be today but I can cut and customize as much want and not feel bad about ruining a good tub.



Overall it's in poor condition but it's a great base for what I wanted.




More to come.
