Found this on craigslist. Looks pretty solid. First 914 and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet. Almost bought Scott Mann's orange peel a couple of years ago. Thinking I might do an 8 or a subie 6.

You went from acquisition to engine in a matter of a couple weeks? If so, fast moving...
Strongly consider installing some significant reinforcements - if you've come this far, this quickly, you probably already know this but just sayin. Best of luck. T |

T Oh its been awhile since I got her. Remodeling a house too. Was thinking reinforcement wise, I'll put a full cage in it, with tubes triangulation the front and rear. Was thinking those reinforcement kits aka doubling the panel thickness might not be the right way to go. Gonna keep the uni body intact as much as possible. Sorry I'm not making her what she came out of the factory as! I've always wanted to hot rod stuff. Don't worry I won't put Porsche badging on my Chevy motor. |

If street, not a real fan of roll cages in street cars unless you plan to wear a helmet. Oh - nice find. Whatever you do enjoy it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Gonna pull double duty. Probably pad the cage really well. Thanks so much! |
