This is a foolish question but I figure that it wont hurt to
The previous owner of my car, as well as welding a cage bar directly behind the drivers seat that limited how far back it can go by about 8 inches, decided to chop and angle back the windshield frame of my car 10 degrees. Apparently this was for attempted gains in aerodynamics. I have access to a parts car with a good windshield frame and I want to be able to run a roof. What is the easiest way to replace the whole windshield frame on a 914? If the piece that includes the frame and cowl and wiper motor can be removed thats easiest.. If i would have to chop it and jig it and weld on a new one Ill just wait on the whole thing.. Ideas? Also, if anyone has a link to a diy on removing the sleeve on the wiring harness that goes through the firewall behind the cabin that would be helpful im trying to pull the whole harness. Thank you Mitch |

QUOTE(brant @ Dec 3 2013, 10:34 PM)  Wow yup the goal with this car has always been to get it running and eventually transfer parts to a better shell so Im probably just going to live with it. even the cage is molded to the lines of the angled windshield. |
