So, I have this long time ,not finished project . (thats a under statement !) Today I got some tires so I could move it around and put it up on the rack. (didn't have a rack when I started. ) Last time I worked on it I had done some soda blasting. ( Harbor Freight tool. ) I started doing some general clean up.(that stuff gets in every where.)After that I put it up on the rack. And had a look around.
This car came from Texas and to my glassed over eye's,almost no rust ! Can this be ? I kept looking and it just looked better and better. ( after seeing some of the car's being repaired here I figgered the worse. Here is my dilemma. I want a 914 GT like the Lufthansa race car. I was going to use a Subaru STI motor and have the Kennedy stuff for the trans. ( got the car with no motor or trans) Having been at it for so long, things have changed and may go with the Subaru trans ? With all the good steel in this chassis l'm thinking I will need to go steel flairs. Instead of the Glass . Or is it better to just leave it stock ? I don't like the stock power. (had one in 79 almost new) And their is the front fender/driver side hit/repair to think about. She will never be a original.I'm rambling ! Stay stock ? Build a wantabe ? Other ? Here are some shots of the steel.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.7.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.8.jpg) What do you all think ? Thanks,Randy |

"What do you all think ?
Thanks,Randy" Well, my personal thoughts are: 1- get it drive-able first 2- stuff any engine in it 3- upgrade the engine to satisfy your soul afterward Things like: Narrow body versus wide Porsche four versus six banger Suby versus SBC ...and other things... are all ideas to ponder after the jack stands are back in the closet. Those ideas are best pondered with a fine red wine while the hair is still disheveled and the whine of the drive is still ringing in your ears. A day spent out driving with the top off is a good day indeed. |
