Couldn't pass it up. I saw Kent's car for sale at the Phoenix Club.
This picture is my daughter Sammy in front of Kent's car 5 years ago at the G&R swap meet.
I always wanted a V8 914.
No, I'm not selling the six.
Here is a link to Kent's thread.

Looking forward to seeing this in person. Nice setup and sounds like you are making a lot of progress. Do you doors have the electric solenoids to pop them open?

Both doors have electric windows and vernier actuators that open the doors. Sounds better than a clunk from solenoids. I want to take the doors apart to see how they are setup.

Way cool how they setup the vernier actuators and electric windows.
Still going through the car. Got rid of the gas smell, by adding back the stock expansion tank and charcoal canister. I’m also having Dr. Evil build a 914 trans for it with tall gears.
The rear view camera and display gets easily washed out with too much sunlight, so I installed a stock rear view mirror and visors. Im also adding RS door handles. No way to close the doors with the windows up. I also installed a rotary switch in the dash to get the fresh air fan working again. I’m leaving the outside alone.
