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. |

Love the renderings by Glen - and looking forward to seeing Oscars build thread...!
Must say, being a rally fan, one detail I loved about the old Works Escort mk1 Safari cars was the extended roll cage forwards to the front strut tops. For a 914 with an internal cage, this would help triangulate / strengthen the front of the car:  Then extending the roll cage out to the back strut tops - in the style of the Ernst Seller 914-6 GT - would be a natural complement. Also don't forget the nudge bar structure across the front to encourage fauna and animals out of the way... - Tony |
