Gemini blue 914 sti, Hoarding parts, cutting and pasting. Options

[BigFour1973]

I've been looking for another 914 and stumbled across a guy in hesperia that had a collection sitting around. There was a 1972 914 1.7 that was previously converted to a v8. It was last registered in 84 and has sat since. Made a deal and brought her to her new home. It's a little rough, but the rust it at a minimum.
Here are the two cars getting to know eachother.

Haven't been updating much lately, makes me think that all the project threads that came to a stop have actually been completed. It's hard to take the time and post updates I guess.

Got the car back from the welder. Had the main cage welded in, then the rear subframe reinforcement, also had him tie the front suspension into the main cage.
(picture is everything just tacked in, its since been welded)

Last weekend I ran the radiator lines through the longs and this weekend I'll be working on getting the radiator mounted in, floating of course, and then get to the Fiberglass and carbon fiber body panels.

I'm running a wilwood pedal cluster too, so after test fitting i noticed that I'll need to cut into the pedal box and push them further into the cavity. The clutch master cylinder and both brake master cylinders are screwing me up fitment wise.

I am running Wilwood Pedal Clusters also and you have to cut into your old peddle area and weld in a piece of bent steel with the holes to fit the MC and have the Pedal Clusters bolted to it. A very kind member sent me instructions and the part several years ago. I have not finished it but you have to have a short length MC and brake Cylinders to clear the bellows on the front Steering and still have the brake lines come out. I am running a Carrera aluminum center on the steering. I have a Clutch MC and 2 brake MC for Boxster brakes. I am running a 930 Turbo trans with a slave cylinder on it.

It looks like a mess but it will all be good when I weld in the piece that I have shown. I have done test fittings and it had to go this much forward for the pedals to work. You can see the outline on the old floor where the brake cylinder was before. I am almost 6 ft. tall. There was no room before with the stock set up. Also with out the factory pedal cluster, you have to work out the gas pedal.
What are you running for an engine?
