Impulse buy. I needed a 914, and it already got new wheels Options

[2mAn]

I waited too damn long to get a 914 and today I finally went and purchased one. I hated the wheels on it though so I went to the Hot Wheels shop across the street from my work and as soon as I got home, I had to install the wheels I'm in love.

Enjoy!





On jack stands, in typical 914 fashion...



and I've reached my limit, next post Will have the mounted pics

Love it, thats why I made sure to take that pic

I collected a bunch of the matchbox cars when they came out back in the day and really want to modify some of them. I cant figure out how you guys get the wheels off - I feel like I am going to break them. Can you explain?

Thanks!

You drill the 2 rivets out on the bottom, then the cars come apart in three pieces (Body, Floor Pan & Interior). Then you can take the axles off with the wheels and swap another axle in. Then put the 3 pieces back together and superglue the rivets

I dont mess with the rivets. Ive had mixed results when putting them back together.

I cut the axles off behind the wheel of the wheels I want to remove, I actually bought another model to use the wheels off of and junked it... poor camaro (parts car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ) ... but I basically was left with the new wheels and axles intact seen in the pics. Then I cut the nub at the end of the new wheels off. I can remove one wheel, slide the other wheel and axle on, a dab of super glue on the end of the axle and install the wheel on it. Both wheels spin freely and I didnt have to drill out any rivets

But drilling the Rivets allows you to take the car apart so you can add flares, spoilers, remove windscreen and repaint. Then do whatever wheels you want
