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 |

pie cut it, bend it back up using the dimensions listed up at the top of the site under 914info.
Use a roof to help you line it up make sure the windshield fits after you tack it in place so you dont need a custom windshield....then weld it home. Rich |
