I have never been a big fan of the nose on the 914 I purchased. I was always 50/50, sometimes I liked it, sometimes I tolerated it. It was on the car and it needed other work so I ignored it mostly. Now I am working on options to see what I can do.

It has a cooler under it, see the pics. Not the correct one though.
Go back to some form of stock?
I like the 916 front end, try to do something like that?
Some hybrid approach?
I don't really want to go down a $10K rabbit hole. I don't really want to cut into the front end and make it a full GT. I may be limiting my options as I think.

Didn't know you could run a GT with a cooler and not cut in a duct.

It's a 6, has a Euro 3.2 in it. Too far gone from stock.

My other one is mostly stock... but a project. Had 5 owners though so.

For budget, I try to keep in mind what I think it would go for. I am close to that number in my mind anyway. Like I said, not selling, probably pass it on to my son, who likes it if he got it for free. As a passion project I would spend more, trying to figure that out.
