I need 20 to put this together.

These will ship in about 20 days from the time the group buy is complete.

I had thought about tackling these as a project, but the quality and detail already in place with this kit couldn't be surpassed. This system is built like a frikin V2 rocket, totally over engineered, but a proven system, with attention to detail on every part.

The only drawback is that there isn't a formal instruction sheet, I'm trying to put one together with the help of a few members here.

I think my bank account just cried uncle.
I'm thinking about it.
Give me a commitment date so I can ponder.

I'm trying to get some from one of the guys I brought these in for, we were trying to put together a formal instruction sheet. I'll post as soon as I can get them.

How about Oct 9th? These parts are made, just need to get enough people that want them to commit. So it would be possible to have them sooner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif), but if you need a date that should work.

I've been thinking of making these as well.

For this price, I am in for at least 1.

It is the MittleMotor kit. Mark and I bought a few sets a couple of months ago. I'm a couple months from installing mine

Wow... fun watching you Rebels have at it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)

Buy from this guy... that's where I got mine. He's honest as the day is long and does this kind of stuff to help other 914 owners. Trust me... there's no "meat" in this deal. The winners will be the guys who sign up for this group buy.

Thanks Mark for making this available to others here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Might be able to pillage some names off this thread... the "GT Headlight Kit Gone Bad" group buy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=61666&hl=

Afterall... the Mittlemotor kits are more true GT kits where as the others were only found on the Meaney car.

I'm also one of the guys that bought in with Mark a few months ago. I will start to install mine soon as well. I will agree with Mark on the quality of this kit and also with Eric on this deal. Mark is doing this as a straight buddy deal. He hooked me up right!! Thank you sir!

The price did change a few times as I was trying to figure out shipping, and customs fees and duties, as they are paid by the recipient. In all actuality I should be able to reduce this price. I had $420 in but that was too much. I figured that if the price went down everyone is happy.

Here's an installation that was posted by to give everone an idea of what this kit entails.

Thanks for posting that installation doc! I bought a Mittlemotor kit some time ago (unfortunately when the exchange rate was extra bad) and have not gotten around to it yet so this will help tremendously!
