I have V8 car and would like to set the trunk to open from the rear. I am having a hard time visualizing how I might accomplish this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif) Does anyone have any examples? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Recently I came across a vehicle (914 somewhere) and the owner installed a modified BMW front hood mechanism (on the front or back hood). The type that moves forward a few inches and then tilts forward to open. I believe it was used on several models including the old 2002, 535's etc.; should be able to locate through a salvage yard and then rework to do the trick ! Get idea and then we'll all follow your progress and then copy/duplicate your installation ! Your car and progress has been very interesting and also sounds like a handful to handle. I noticed elsewhere your comments to the 16 yr old that a V-8 needs to be handled by an experience and very capable driver I Agree. My 95 LT1 350 with a late model Boxster tranny is a little scary even with prior racing experience. Seems the teener wants to take-off even without any wings ! If you know what I mean. I'm only running around 300 HP and it still will take a little getting used to this new found power. I guess the only good part is, I had never previously driven a 914 before. So what is a 4 cyl. teener like anyway ? Appreciate any comments or replies. Allan |
