Last week (10/12) was Week 1 in the transformation of my rolling chassis purchased from Mr Mark Heard. Thank you Mark for the outstanding chassis and the plethora of parts.

This will be a full custom outlaw. They are pulling/modifying the fenders (no GT flares) to accomodate larger wheels (8's and 9's), installing elephant racing racing suspension compenents in the rear and raising the shock towers in the front to provide additional wheel travel for the larger wheels.

I dont have all the details yet, as this is a work in progress. All work is being documented on their Facebook page. Expected finish is April 2024.

This is the first official 914 I have owned (I used to drive my buddies all the time) and I cant wait to get this done! On my 21st birthday, my wife promised me my dream porsche when I turned 50. I will be 51 when its done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

No updates in the last few months. Tried to get the Momo Heritage wheels, and they said the wait would be over a year to get them. So those are out.

Spent a lot of time on the google machine trying to find a staggered 17x8 and 17x9 with 5x130 lug pattern and the correct offset.

Ended up ordering custom wheels from American Racing VF519.

This is holding up all (visual) progress as they cannot finish pulling the fenders until the wheels are on it.

Engine is in process, and hoping to have some pics with better updates soon.
