My 914 Restomod Options

[Blown59]

I dont believe Ive posted any pics of my car since joining. Ive been a long time lurker and reader only asking a couple of questions. I suppose its time we come out of hiding.

My 914 is not quite done, but I believe is presentable enough for show now. Here's a little of what I've done to her so far...

After 7 months worth or restoration and upgrades, it now has welded metal flares, pan stripped, some prior shoddy welds ground and rewelded, entire car epoxy primered, interior and underside/inner fenders shot with U-Pol Raptor liner. Body rec'd 2 coats of Nason high build primer, 3 coats Axalta Challenger base (Porsche Chalk/Crayon) and 4 coats of clear. 5 lug conversion (944 and 986 parts rear with 916 rotors) (911t front struts/hubs/rotors with M-Caliper upgrade). Steering rack was rebuilt, all bushings replaced, bearings, 930 tie rods/ends. All suspension components were stripped and repainted. All new rubber from 914 Rubber. The engine will be rebuilt to a 2270 stroker this winter as well as the seats being recovered from the same leather hides I used on the custom fiberglass console and dash. Still awaiting the arrival of flared rocker covers, fiberglass rear bumper and LE valance.

Also, I'm not happy with how the rear sits after installing the KYBs. I know they get a lot of flack, but I used a set of them on a 1986 Mk1 Mr2 autoX car with Eibach springs and loved the set up. I cant get these to settle for anything. The new Bilsteins should arrive today and my fiberglass body bits should be in next week.
