600 miles to get car
23 months to strip- it down, weld it up, paint and customize. 2 months to strip and refresh engine 1 month to install stereo- got lazy 1 weekend to align all 4 wheels still some time to iron out the bugs but it is certified, licensed and drivable. It's on the road. The coolest part is that, in true 914 fashion, I did it all myself, stripping, welding, fiber glassing, painting, upholstery (except carpets thanks Hiedi) , engine, but the best part was the customizing -[FG Flares, seats - 88 corolla, mirrors - 96 Olds 88, high mount LED brake light - Hong Kong, SS Dash inserts - old door kick plates, rear wing - Ebay, front grill/driving lights, steel rocker panels - hand made, gray interior, stereo, pedals, 2000 Boxster rims - Ebay, black painted trim, white painted door handles, rear window radio antenna, SS roof wear plates and more but I forget all of it] Enjoy the before, during and after shots. I will post an entire restoration thread some day, but for now here is a taste. Attached image(s)
