Here is the deal. After 3 years my 1974 914 is finally entering the re-assembly stage. The car was supposed to be completed and on the road July 2003 but when the craftsmen at Patrick Motorsport started digging in the "nearly rust free" chassis they found rust, rust, and more rust in all the bad places.
So, the chassis was completed stripped to bare metal and teh cancer removed and repaired. The paint work is now complete and it is time to start putting things together. Problem is the budget has spiraled out of control on this car. The carrera suspension/5-lug conversion parts are in at Patrick and ready to go on the car. I need suggestions for front roll bar, springs, shocks, etc. They build a lot of track cars and I am afraid the suspension components they would normally use would be overkill and way out of the budget. The car will be primarily a street car with the occasional auto-cross, road trip, or historic rally (touring class no roll cage, etc.). I use the Boxster for really hardcore driving so I don't want the 914 set-up like a track car. The car has a RAT 2270 and a rebuilt gearbox without LSD. Any and all input appreciated. |
