(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) So I'm committed to get this dream of mine on the road

Turn this rear half of a 914 into a car-b-q (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
In time to use at RedRock's Bar-B-Q
What kept me from getting it done, funds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Brutal year, but that won't stop this Stubbord Irishman
so any of the gang in Colorado has materials I can use for the car-b-q
please LMK

also a hand would be very greatly appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
biggest issue is the propane gas plumbing
I've a great start from a fellow 914'ner
In HIS 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Too kool.
He brought a 2" tube bar,3 'long for the tongue
Anybody have a 2" ball reciever?
Input please, I'm smart enough to learn from other people mistakes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I am so excited about this one Kevin!

If you do it right, you may be able to incorporate a cooler as well as a grille! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I wish I was on the other side of the hill....but if there is anything I can do, please let me know!

Well it was an early car!

Not very aerodynamic from this point of view. Might have to sheet in the tongue area to help with airflow, and maybe store propane canisters.

Is that a 2" section of square tube? I may have a 2" hitch that fits that tube.

As for grilling, no idea
I thought I get a bunch from a thift store
but don't need to work with more rust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Maybe find enough parts to make it work
but I've no clue in that dept.

What's really needed now is a 2" receiver
some 3/4 angle to build a frame in the engine compartment
I've some alum. skin to close off the bottem part of the engine area,
turning this into another trunk!
for cooler and propane tank

Yeah Eric I wish you and your family were over here too
we have a ball over all theses insane 914 stuff!
Bugging Gint and all

I've been wanting to put a Amco Bar on the back for holding cooking utensils.
I leave out anything?

Silly Andy!
Henna says it "Air Cooled"
Grill will be in the rear trunk, on the "other" side of the firewall!

Or you could use an actual car. It looks like this guy just installed a regular grill somehow. Does anybody know this guy? You could grill in the back trunk, fill the front trunk with ice for the keg.

Reverse that.
Put the grill in the engine bay and you can use the engine lid as the cover to the grill. You can also access the grill through the missing rear window, so perhaps you can design the engine lid to open in reverse. The propane tanks would store well underneath it, (shorter piping) where the engine usually is.
The rear trunk would make a better cooler (more beer and easier access).
