Maybe someone is looking for these,

A shop in Germany sells new 914 Lexan body's at 11,95 euro's a pop, not too bad I guess.
he also sell's the decal sheets with it.

wheelbase is 240 mm width is 170 mm

They make a nice toy I guess (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

to the site

not affiliated in any way, just ordered one for my self, now to find a chassis to go with it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

enjoy!

Isn't the Tamiya M chassis front-wheel-drive?

From a post from a couple years back:

----------------------------------------------------
There are 3 Taymia M-series kits that will fit this body. The M-02L, M-03L and M-04L. The M-02L is sort of a cheesy design with a single horizontal shock for both front and both rear wheels, and will probably handle fairly crappy because of that. Unfortunately, that is the chassis that the 911 and Boxster sit on (the 911 and Boxster would otherwise be good choices because they come with Porsche wheels - Turbo Twist). The M-03L chassis is front motor, front wheel drive - which should be OK, but I prefer rear wheel drive. I'm also not sure about body fit on this chassis since this chassis can only take the new Mini Cooper body and not any of the other M-chassis bodies. The M-04L chassis is by far the best of the three. It comes with 2 different kits: The Honda S2000 (kit #58236), and the BMW M-Roadster (kit #58240). Only drawback to these would be the non-Porsche wheels. But you can buy the Porsche Turbo Twist wheels separately if thats what you would prefer (or dozens of other styles for that matter).
