I like to make my car lighter and somewhat more modern and the 914 siloutte is beautifull and the over all design next to perfect. It is a great platform for making a great sport/super car which handels very well. As for these modifications, they are just...........SPEAK BRETHERN!

The person has talent, lots of 014 stuff from what I can see, and I like the rear body work (just a littel bit)
The front needs work.

Overall, I would go drive by and look closer...its a removable body on what appears to be a decent frame setup...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) IMHO that was one of Ford's best engines. It was a very cool powerplant . . . actually, I like the whole Capri. The whole car was pretty revolutionary IMHO.

Besides the little hijack, it would seem that this guy has some serious skills. I especially like the front end tube design. I would really liek to see more pictures of his designs.

I'm still wondering why he kept it trailing arm in the back though? I would have gone double a-arm if I was going to a semi-tube like he did.
