Looks like a kit with a 928 ish front end look , porobly some one will have a

name for it . Looks O.K. I guess. Not for me .

That wood battery box is so cool the owner should make up a few hundred a

at $50.00 each would sell out in a day!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

What is the price ? If you like that sort of think and could buy it right and finish


it you would have a different looking 914. Then put a 6 in it . Just my 2 cents!!!

I don't think it looks bad. Just bugs me that they "stuck" the body work to what looks like a beater. If theuy had stripped the car down and preped everything beforehand it would give a custom finish. The fact that parts that were in the way were just partly chopped off and left "hanging" there makes me think they didn't care what the finished product would be. How you do anything is how you do everything.

Then again, I judge more by what's under the skin, not just how it looks from a distance.

If people don't like the way the 914 looks ... why don't they buy something else ?

I agree. I can't believe someone would put that much money into a kit and not prep and finish the chassis.
