Ok. After three years, my first 914 is nearly done. All stock 1.7L 1970.
Purdy. A project my son was supposed to do, yet.... 99% done by Dad. As long and tedious as it was, I'm about to do it again. Somewhere along the way I became enamored with this little Porsche orphan.... but I'm not a 1.7L guy. My crazy idea. 2.7L Boxster engine and drive train. Plus I need AC, Sacramento is too hot for me. Don't really want to do a Suby or Frankenstein conversion. I love the Porsche sound. Has anyone done this or attempted to do this? Would love some guidance before I bid on Salvaged Boxsters. |

We recently sent the shell off for media blasting and we're hoping most of the car comes back! But we found that both doors are in terrible shape. Many repairs and lots of thick bondo. I found quite a few doors on-line but was wondering where I could find a pair of rust free door shells. Or even new doors if they exist...
