So if Mark and Andy keep cranking away on weekends, we should just be doing final assembly at the 914World Limo Day at Original Customs. We could use your help! Talent runs deep at 914World. We just need you to come out and help.

Nice try, but i don't think we'll be finishing the Limo that weekend.


Hopefully, we'll get a lot of work done though. There's still lots of stuff to do.

Any leads on an engine yet??
Maybe McMark can gather parts and we can try to put one together at the BBQ?
I can bring 90% of a tailshift transaxle to donate, parts in a box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Does McMark have a paint booth yet? Maybe we could get that together and shoot doors, lids and bits?

We do. But it's still super top secret so we can't talk about it right now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif)

Mark does not have a paint booth, unless you count the open sky outside his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Audi/Passat engine/trani. B5 version. They use transaxles and have the speed sensor built into the trani. Essentially it would be plug and play. In fact an early 90's Audi 90 or similar FWD could be picked up for next to nothing. Not going to have tiptronic or a bunch of HP, but the 2.8L v6 would still have ~ 150hp (vs 190hp on the later models w/ tiptronic).


Just a thought Andy. Essentially all you would have to do is run 2 cables for the shifter, build an engine/trani cradle, and either fab CV adapters/splice the CV's together/ or have custom shafts built (914 on one side, Audi other side). Then the rest is just power source and throttle cable.

Essentially you could have could have cruise control, air conditioning, heat, and climate control fairly easy if you had a parts car..

Oh. I thought you meant a automatic transmission with a Porsche engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)


Nothing personal, but i strongly believe the worlds first 914 Limo should be propelled by a Porsche engine ...
