Hello Everyone.
This started back in October, I was at Buttonwillow raceway for a 24 Hours of Lemons race and pitted across from my team was this car: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i916.photobucket.com-8123-1353814154.1.jpg) They were working on it most of the weekend and I must have walked past it 100 times. Next weekend I was bored and got on cl and found a 914 around the corner from me. It looked like it was sitting for awhile, but looked complete. I checked it out and after a week of thinking and learning about 914, I decided it would make a nice project for the winter. I've been poking around here reading up on 914 and see what everyone has done to them, been coming here more and more. Then the other day I stumbled across the build challenge and decided to throw my hat in even though I'm a few months late and share the progress I (hope) to make. |

There is an insane amount of resources here for all your questions and needs. I almost bought that car for parts. The pass long is half gone and will likely collapse on the rotisserie. It was creaking and flexing THAT bad when I jacked that side up. Restoration Design makes most of the pieces you'll need and Pelican is the cheapest place I've seen to buy it from. Most of the sheet metal is 1mm in case you decide to buy a sheet and fab some of the patches. Glad to see another one is getting saved. I say screw the resto and build something fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
