...when Clip front or Front clip is all you can think about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I learned about these unibody cars early on, in 1973. My friend Renee said that his Dad (body shop owner) was having a nice 914 put together for his birthday present. I went to check it out; rear section (from fuel tank back was red/ front section was white. Then he showed me the (looked like stick-welds) joint area using a salvage rear and a salvage front. Says this "Repair" is what is called a Clip. You could re-register Salvages as New Titles in Cali back then.
When it was finished he let me drive it for a day, with rattles and all...I still loved the 914= went out and bought a New dealer 1974 2.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) In the '80s a clipped 914 track car had a terrible shunt at a Big Willow club race and claimed the life of a ride-along passenger. The combination of a diagonal bar that crossed over the passenger + the impact on the (clipped nose) did that person in. Driver had major foot damage. |
