Has anyone ever built (and completed) a Porsche 914 Safari? I know that Eric Shea has been building one on-and-off for awhile, but it does not appear to be finished yet. Anyone ever finished one?
I am thinking of building a mild version of a Safari 914 for use when I move to Peru in a couple of years. The towns and villages outside of the metropolitan Lima area usually have lots of unpaved and/or gravel roads, and we like to venture off the paved roads. I already have a Jeep that I am taking, but want a "fun" car too. Since building Safari-style Porsche 911's is the latest fad, someone must be doing 914 Safari's too. |

Yes…I am in the process of building a lightweight Safari type build powered by a recently acquired four cylinder 2056cc from a local member. Just rebuilt carbs and all ready to go. I’m almost done sourcing 5 lug conversion components thanks to another member. Hardly any weld repair necessary on driver side floor. Body is ready for minor bodywork and paint. I have all interior pcs that again, I’ve sourced from members here.
I practically have all I need except time…but I’m working on it. Trying to decide on paint scheme? Here’s a quick rendering of what is inspiring me. BTW…I am looking for a set of metal GT flares….anyone have some laying around? Minor damage okay. Oscar |
